Absence management

Vacation tracking and time accounts that are actually right.

Who’s off next week? How many vacation days does Anna have left? What’s Paul’s overtime balance? In most small teams the answer lives in a spreadsheet someone forgot to update — or in nobody’s head at all.

onda keeps every balance correct automatically: vacation days, time accounts, public holidays and statutory leave — country by country, across Europe.

Absence software for small teams

Request, approve, done — the balance takes care of itself.

01 · Requests & approvals

Time off in a click, approved in a tap.

Your team requests time off right in onda. Whoever approves sees the request, the remaining balance and who else is out — and confirms in one tap. No email threads, no calendar archaeology. Vacation days and the time account update themselves the moment a request is approved.

02 · Time accounts & the law

Time accounts, public holidays and statutory leave — handled.

onda knows the public holidays for every country your people work in, and applies statutory leave like Austria’s Papamonat or Germany’s Elternzeit correctly. Tracked hours from Toggl or onda’s built-in tracker flow into a real time account, so overtime is a number, not a feeling. And because absences and capacity share one data set, every approved day off updates your project planning too.

FAQ

Absence management with onda, answered.

Is onda a fit for a five-person team?+

That’s exactly where it starts paying off. We built it when our own studio hit five people and the spreadsheet stopped being trustworthy. There’s no minimum size — if keeping balances by hand annoys you, you’re the target group.

Which countries does it cover?+

onda handles public holidays and statutory leave country by country across Europe — Austria’s Papamonat, Germany’s Elternzeit and the rest. Tell us where your team sits and we set it up during onboarding.

How do time accounts work?+

Every person has contract hours, and every tracked hour counts against them. onda keeps the running balance — plus and minus — so overtime and undertime are visible at any moment instead of being reconstructed at year-end.

Can employees see their own balances?+

Yes. Everyone sees their own vacation days and time account and requests absences themselves; managers approve. That alone kills most of the back-and-forth.

We already track time in Toggl — does that fit?+

Perfectly. onda syncs tracked hours from Toggl automatically, and the time account fills itself. Prefer everything in one tool? We can switch on onda’s built-in tracker.
