Academic calendar and absence management

Educational institutions operate with unique calendars that include school breaks, academic terms, and specific holidays. With Runa, you can easily manage vacations, medical leave, and staff time off while keeping everything aligned with the school calendar. Employees can request time off online, set break periods or academic recesses, and the system automatically reflects these absences in payroll—ensuring accurate calculations and better workforce planning.
