All absence

A complete view of leave and absence across your workspace.

All Absence gives you a complete view of leave and absence across your workspace. It helps admins manage team availability, keep absence records accurate, and support wider resourcing and planning.

Depending on the absence types you've set up, you can also log absence on behalf of employees — making sure their record stays up to date even when they can't access Trellis or set up leave types directly.

What you can do here

  • Log absence on behalf of a member — select Add leave, choose the member, then fill in the absence type, dates, and any note or supporting document your workspace requires. Useful for retroactive entries, or when someone can't submit a request themselves.

    Logging absence on behalf of a team member.
  • Edit an existing record — open Edit details from the row menu to change the dates, note, or attachment on any logged absence.

  • Cancel an approved absence — select Cancel leave from the row menu to remove it from the record. The days go back to the member's allocation automatically.

  • View documents and notes — each row shows any note the requester added and any supporting documents they uploaded.

  • Filter and search — narrow by employee, absence type, status, or date range to find the records you need. Sort by date or number of days to spot patterns.

  • Export or copy the data — use Export to CSV or Copy data to pull the current view out for reports, payroll, or offline auditing.

* Not on their own record. An Admin editing or cancelling their own leave has to go through the normal My leaves flow and have someone else review it. Owners are the exception — they can action their own.

Access to All Absence is restricted to Owners and Admins. Other roles can't view workspace-wide absence records or log absence on behalf of others.
