Absence calendar and Bradford Factor

Who is away

Go to My Team and Calendar. It lists approved holiday, TOIL and sickness over the next 60 days: your team, or everyone if you are a superadmin. Bank holidays in the same 60 days are listed underneath.

Requests still waiting for approval do not show here.

The Bradford Factor

Open Absence (in My Team for your direct reports, or in Admin for everyone).

The Bradford score is spells × spells × days over the last 52 weeks. Lots of short absences score far higher than one long one: three one-day spells score 27, while one three-day spell scores 3.

• 50: worth a conversation (amber).
• 200: a concern (red).
• 400: time for action.

The heatmap shows each day of the last year as a square: the more people off sick that day, the redder it is. Look for repeats, such as Mondays or Fridays.

Export CSV downloads the leaderboard as a spreadsheet.

A score is a prompt to talk, not a verdict. Check the reasons first, and remember some absences (such as disability-related ones) need different handling.

If something goes wrong

• Someone’s sickness is missing: it was never recorded. Add it with Record time off.

If the page says Something went wrong or a red Error: message appears, nothing has been saved. Reload the page and try once more. If it happens again, press Report a problem and copy the message into it.
