MONTHLY ABSENCE SUMMARY · Workflow idea

Prepare a careful monthly view of team absences.

At the start of each month, gather calendar entries labeled as holiday or illness and summarize the number of entries for each person. Keep the details limited to the people who need the report, and let a reviewer check it before the summary is sent.

    Gather events marked with the team’s chosen holiday or illness terms and exclude unrelated calendar entries.

  3. Count entries by person

    Prepare a count for each person while avoiding unnecessary details about the reason for an absence.

  4. Check dates and labels

    Have a reviewer verify the period, duplicate events, names, and included entries against the calendar.

  5. Approve the summary and recipients

    Require an authorized person to approve the information and limited recipient list before the email is sent.

The handoff

A monthly absence count by person, prepared for an authorized reviewer to check before it is emailed to the selected recipients.

Keep in mind

Absence details can be sensitive, especially information about illness. Limit access and report only what recipients need; verify calendar labels and dates, and require an authorized person to approve the summary and recipient list before sending.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select the calendar and matching labels

Choose the calendar and the event terms that represent absences for this report.

Set the monthly schedule and time zone

Choose when to prepare the report; the source example runs at 8 a.m. on the first day of each month.

Choose a restricted report audience

Name the recipients who need the summary and the authorized person who approves each email.

Test labels, duplicates, and date boundaries

Check example holiday and illness entries across month boundaries and confirm sensitive event details are not shared unnecessarily.
