Features / Leave and absence
Module · Leave and absence

Leave under Luxembourg law, without spreadsheets.

Each employee sees an up-to-date balance and requests leave from their phone. Managers approve with their team in view, HR keeps control of rules and exports.

Leave requests and sick notes to process
Accurate balances

The calculation follows the law, not an estimate.

Pro-rata in twelfths

26 days a year. In an incomplete year, one twelfth of the annual entitlement per month worked, with a part-month of more than 15 days counting as a full month.

Working time

The entitlement is pro-rated by working time, with a history of changes. Leave is booked and counted in hours.

Carry-over and public holidays

Unused leave carries over until 31 March. Luxembourg public holidays are built in, including compensation for those falling on a weekend.

Each organisation picks its leave types: annual, special, sick, family reasons, parental, remote work, training, time off in lieu.

Special leave

The statutory scale, capped automatically.

The employee picks the reason, Planifast applies the duration set by article L.233-16 of the Labour Code and checks the annual caps.

  • Supporting document requested when needed.
  • Leave for family reasons is tracked separately.

Sick leave

The sick note as a photo, visible to HR only.

The employee reports the absence and takes a photo of the certificate. The manager knows a note is attached, HR opens it and marks it as processed.

  • Photo or PDF, from a phone or a computer.
  • Leave given back: leave days covered by the sick note are credited back to the employee.

Approval

Managers decide with their team in view.

The team calendar shows approved and pending absences before a request is accepted. Employees can view it too if you switch it on.

  • Delegation: while away, the manager names a deputy who approves in their place.
  • Parental leave: an assistant calculates the effect on annual leave.
  • Excel exports of balances and the absence calendar.

FAQ

Leave and absence

How much does the module cost?

€2 per active employee per month on top of another module, or €5 if it is your first module. The core platform (web and mobile apps, roles, employee profile, notifications) is included.

Do balances account for part-time work?

Yes. The annual entitlement is pro-rated by working time, with its dated history, and by months of presence for an incomplete year. Leave is booked in hours.

Can the manager see sick notes?

They see that a note is attached but cannot open it. Only HR can view the document.

Do you handle collective agreements?

Extra days granted by a collective agreement, such as the one for staffing agencies, can be configured for your organisation during set-up.
