Gain a deeper understanding of employee absence and improve productivity.
Keeping an eye on employee absence is crucial to your business’s success. After all, employee absenteeism affects everything from productivity to staff morale.
Breathe’s easy-to-use online absence management software gives you the power to better understand your absence record, identify absence problems, and set about resolving them.
Absence management software helps you oversee holiday requests, periods of sickness, and all other types of employee absence, all while enabling you to more deeply understand leave-related trends or issues.
Our software records and stores all information regarding employee absence and holiday entitlement. Your team can access this data from any device, so there’s never any misunderstanding about how much time they’ve taken off. Supporting information, like Bradford Factor scores for each employee, helps you root out absenteeism before it can become a problem.
Breathe’s absence management software gives you back the precious hours you’d otherwise spend on laborious HR admin.
Set trigger rules - whether it be Bradford Factor levels or number of sickness instances - and Breathe will let you know when someone has reached that level.
Stay on top of sickness levels proactively, so that you can check in with your people and make sure they're getting the support they need.
Our user-friendly employee portal gives your team transparency over their leave, allowing them to easily access policies, book time off, and log sickness with supporting documents - all in one place, removing miscommunication risks for both employees and the business.
And with the People Portal mobile app, your people can log sickness in just a few taps.

An absence management process refers to how organisations handle time off work for employees.
This includes the procedures employees should follow, along with who they should notify and how their absence is reviewed on their return (in the case of sickness, for example).
This depends on the type of absence, and whether any employment contracts have been breached, e.g. unauthorised absence.
Every situation is different, and we’d advise getting in touch with a certified HR or employment law consultant to advise around absence & potential dismissal.
For further guidance around managing long-term sickness, we’ve covered the HR advice small businesses need to know in our quick guide to long-term sickness.
Not exactly – absence management generally refers to time off work due to sickness or other leave, such as compassionate leave.
Leave management usually refers to time off work around annual leave, or holiday. These terms are often used to describe similar periods employees might have off from work.
