Built for the Google Workspace stack
Leave management that fits Google Workspace
Sign in with Google, get an email for every request, and see who's off in Google Calendar — so time off fits around the tools your team already opens every day.
Free for up to 10 people · 11 to 50 people: $37.50 a month on Pro
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 and Google Calendar — so booking and approving leave fits around the Google tools people already use.
People sign in with their existing Google account and book leave in the web app. Their manager gets an email that links to the approval queue, approves it in one click, and the approved absence shows up 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.
What you get
Sign in with Google
Staff sign in with their existing Google Workspace account — no new password to set, forget or reset.
Approvals in one click
Every request reaches the right manager by email, with a button that opens the approval queue, where one click approves it.
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, and Google Calendar sync so time off is visible where your team plans its work. Google sign-in works on every plan. Google Calendar sync is on every plan, the free Starter plan included.
Already on Microsoft too? Absenca also offers Outlook calendar sync and Microsoft sign-in, so mixed-stack teams are covered on both sides.
Why Google-first teams choose Absenca
Plenty of leave tools treat Google Workspace as an afterthought: one more login to manage, and time off that never reaches the calendar people actually plan in. Absenca signs people in with the Google account they already have and writes approved leave straight into Google Calendar — while keeping the accruals, policies and reporting an HR or ops lead actually needs.
And it stays affordable. Absenca is free for up to 10 people. Pro is $37.50 a month for up to 50 people, or $33.75 a month billed annually ($405 a year).

Frequently asked questions
- Is there a Google Chat bot?
- Not yet. Absenca's Google Chat bot is built and coming soon, but it can't be added to a Workspace today. Until then, Absenca works alongside Google Workspace through Google sign-in and Google Calendar sync, and for people who turn on out-of-office, Google Chat can show their Google Calendar out-of-office entry to colleagues who message them. People request and approve leave in the web app, and each new request's email links to the approval queue.
