Day 8 · day 15

Apply or report — the right split

Vacation and leave of absence (tjänstledighet) are applied for — you decide. Sick leave, VAB and parental leave are reported — nobody approves being sick.

Manecab keeps the two apart, exactly as the rules do. Drivers see right away which is which.

Vacation years and saved days

Balances per vacation year (semesterår). Days above 20 can be saved for up to 5 years under the Annual Leave Act — Manecab tracks which year every saved day comes from, so the oldest are taken first.

The year-end close is done in one step. Sammanfallande semesterår — the earning year and the vacation year as one period — is supported.

Sick leave with the right reminders

A sick report stays open until it is ended — nobody has to guess an end date in advance. On day 8 Manecab reminds you about the doctor's certificate (läkarintyg), and once the absence passes day 14, the reminder to notify Försäkringskassan — the Swedish Social Insurance Agency — follows.

Doctor's certificates are stored on their own, apart from the document cabinet — sensitive records do not mix with registration papers.

VAB and parental leave

VAB and parental leave are reported as they happen — on the phone, in under a minute.

The absence shows up where planning needs it: in the roster and the overview, not in a spreadsheet nobody remembers to update.

Absence shows in the roster

Approved leave and reported absence shade into the roster, so you never schedule someone who is away. Decisions follow your hierarchy — the right person gets the request.

The number of counted vacation days can be adjusted per request — taxi drivers work weekends, and the standard count is not always right.

Common questions

More questions?

How long can vacation days be saved?

Days above 20 can be saved for at most 5 years under the Swedish Annual Leave Act. Manecab shows the origin year of every saved day and surfaces the oldest first.

When is a doctor's certificate required for sick leave?

From day 8 of the sick period. Manecab reminds you when an open sick leave gets there.

When must the employer notify Försäkringskassan?

When sick leave passes day 14. Manecab reminds on day 15 if the absence is still open.

What is sammanfallande semesterår?

A setup where the earning year and the vacation year are the same period — vacation is earned and taken in the same year. Common in smaller companies, and supported in Manecab.

Can drivers apply from their phones?

Yes. Applications and reports are made on the phone, and the decision lands as a notification for the driver.
