Built for the Google Workspace stack
Leave management that fits Google Workspace
Sign in with Google, request and approve leave in Google Chat, and see who's off in Google Calendar — so time off lives inside the tools your team already opens every day.
If your company runs on Google Workspace, tracking time off shouldn't mean a separate login, a separate calendar and a separate place to chase approvals. Absenca connects to the parts of Workspace your team uses most — Google sign-in, Google Chat and Google Calendar — so booking and approving leave happens without leaving the Google world.
People sign in with their existing Google account, request and approve leave from a Google Chat message, and see approved absences in Google Calendar. Underneath it's a full leave tracker — accruals, carry-over, public holidays per office and reports — so the convenience never costs you accuracy.
Sign in with Google
Staff sign in with their existing Google Workspace account — no new password to set, forget or reset.
Google Chat bot
Employees book time off and managers approve it from a Google Chat message, without opening another app or inbox.
Google Calendar sync
Approved leave flows into Google Calendar, so a colleague's day off shows up next to the meetings you're scheduling.
A real leave tracker underneath
Accruals, carry-over, half-day leave, public holidays for 190+ countries and reports — the Google convenience sits on top of a full leave system.
What you can connect
Google sign-in for one-click access, a Google Chat bot for requests and approvals, and Google Calendar sync so time off is visible where your team plans its work. Each is included on every plan — there's no integrations add-on and no enterprise gate.
Already on Microsoft too? Absenca also offers a Microsoft Teams bot, Outlook calendar sync and Microsoft sign-in, so mixed-stack teams are covered on both sides.
Why Google-first teams choose Absenca
Most leave tools either ignore Google Workspace or bolt on a calendar feed and call it an integration. Absenca treats Chat and Calendar as first-class surfaces, so requesting and seeing time off feels native — while keeping the accruals, policies and reporting an HR or ops lead actually needs.
And it stays affordable: free for up to 15 people with the full feature set, then a flat $0.75 per user per month.
