Does what it says on the tin. What would make it better would be able to create a list of people to notify rather than having to add them for each and every absence.

A bit confuzing for new user
Was not very clear that some days that ware marked I do not need to book anymore bacause the days ware allready non working days.

Thanks for your feedback! Non-working days are shown in grey and can simply be ignored when submitting a vacation request — for example, requesting two weeks off is easy, as those days are automatically skipped. Selecting non-consecutive days isn’t possible in one go, but we’re happy to pass that on. Feel free to reach out if you need any help!
Easy to use and easy to navigate..

For me there was a tiny problem
For me there was a tiny problem. While dragging the vacation from starting day to the ending day, the dragging broke if dragging lasted more than 2 seconds and started new dragging on the breaking point.
