# What is Activ Absence?

Activ Absence is an online holiday leave planner and sickness absence management system. Often staff holiday planning and sickness absence are managed manually using paper & spreadsheets. This means a lot of admin for the HR team and it makes reporting a challenge. Activ Absence is designed to replace these measures by providing numerous benefits, and it manages other types of leave (like shared paternity leave, study leave, medical leave etc.) in the same easy-to-use system.
