Managing absences (Vacations, Medical Leave, Time-Off) directly affects operations. If two technical leads go on vacation the same week because HR logged it in a spreadsheet the board didn't see, the project delays. **PeopleOps** solves "Leave Management" by integrating the time-off request with company-wide visibility.

### **Employee Self-Service**

An employee shouldn't email HR asking for vacation. They should request it via an app, where the system already validates if they have available days.

### **Digital HR in Jestor**

This is where Jestor acts, connecting people and data:

- **Vacation Portal:** The employee accesses the internal app, sees they have "15 days balance," and selects dates on the calendar.
- **Waterfall Approval:** The request goes to the direct manager (to assess team impact) and then to HR (for labor calculations). All via quick-click buttons.
- **Visible Corporate Calendar:** Approved vacations feed Jestor's "Absence Calendar." Before scheduling a product launch, the COO checks the calendar to see who will be out.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**How to handle medical notes?** The employee snaps a photo of the note via phone in Jestor. The card drops straight into a restricted HR queue, maintaining absolute medical confidentiality. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Can it send expiration alerts?** Yes. Jestor warns HR and the manager 60 days before an employee's vacation expires (preventing mandatory double payouts).

**Does it integrate with time tracking?** The database can export absences to the official payroll system via API.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, it is possible to automate workflows, connect departments, and create internal systems your way, all code-free and AI-supported.
