What It Is

FehlzeitenApp is an online leave and absence management app from Rework. Its core goal is to replace spreadsheets and offline communication, giving employees, managers, and HR a shared view of leave balances, request status, and team calendars. The page emphasizes that teams can get started in 5 minutes, with support for Web, iPhone, and Android.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product is tightly focused on leave and absence workflows. Employees can submit absence requests from a phone, a home computer, or an office device. Managers receive an email notification and can approve or reject requests with one click in the online app; when rejecting a request, they can provide a reason, and the related communication remains traceable. The system can show who on the team is already on leave, and organizations can choose whether this is visible to everyone or only to specific groups. Both employees and managers can view annual leave balances, overtime hours, and past requests. The system can also prioritize using leave that is about to expire according to configured rules.

Configuration, Integrations, and Security

FehlzeitenApp supports configuration for public holidays, personal holidays, shifts, sick leave, time off in lieu, and increases or decreases in overtime, making it suitable for basic absence policies across different companies. For third-party integrations, the main text only explicitly mentions that absence calendars can be displayed in Outlook, Google, or Apple Calendar; it does not disclose HRIS, payroll system, SSO, or API capabilities. On security, the app runs in data centers in the Netherlands and mentions ISO9001, ISO27001, Fortigate firewalls, daily off-site backups, and 256-bit SSL encryption. For a lightweight tool in this category, its security disclosure is relatively substantial.

Pricing, Pros, and Cons

Pricing is €1.50 per employee per month, with a 14-day free trial, no extra fees, and cancellation at any time. The pricing structure is transparent and suitable for teams that are not very large but want a more standardized approval process. Its strengths are simplicity, mobile-friendly access, a clear approval workflow, and flexible configuration. Its limitations are also clear: it is primarily a leave and absence management tool, not a full HR suite, and it does not clarify API availability, Chinese-language support, localized payment options, or broader integrations.

Best Fit and Access from China

FehlzeitenApp is best suited to small and medium-sized businesses, HR teams, and department managers in European or German/English-speaking environments, especially organizations still tracking leave and absences in spreadsheets. There is no evidence in the main text regarding access from mainland China, so this should be treated as unknown. Payment methods are also not disclosed. For deployment in China, it would be worth comparing local alternatives such as DingTalk, WeCom, Feishu HR, Beisen, and Moka, which are more aligned with local network conditions, payments, and attendance ecosystems.
