Planning and time off

The Calendar page is where you say what a day is supposed to look like, before you work it. It shows a month at a time, with your planned hours, your recorded hours and your days off in the same grid, so a thin week explains itself at a glance.

• Planned hours - an estimate for a day, optionally split per project. The cell then shows progress against the plan: orange while under, purple at or over.
• Absence days - mark a whole or half day as Vacation, Sick or Care of child (VAB). A marked day reduces the hours you are expected to work.
• Public holidays - shown automatically for the region you set in Settings. Days like Christmas Eve appear as informational half-day markers.

Select days by dragging across the grid, or with Ctrl or Cmd and A for the whole month, then use the bar that appears to set hours on all of them at once, add to what is already there, or mark them absent. There is a "working days this month" preset for the common case. Clicking a single day opens its details, where you can add and edit entries without leaving the calendar.

Expected hours for a period are your daily target multiplied by the working days in it, minus whatever absence covers - a full day counts as zero, a half day as half your target, and this is the same regardless of which kind of absence it was. Absence also comes in a second shape: a timed absence entry, which sits on the timeline with a start and an end, may overlap work, and is never counted into any total.

Sick and Care of child are data concerning health under the GDPR, so wallticker asks for your explicit consent the first time you record one, and writes nothing until you give it. Only the date, the type, and whether it was a full or half day are stored - never a reason and never a diagnosis. Withdrawing consent in Settings deletes those records. Vacation is not health data and is never gated.
