Set “Absent” as a Default Day in Personal Settings

Last updated: October 26, 2026

If you don’t work on certain weekdays – for example with a 3- or 4-day week or part-time – you can set “Absent” as your default for these days. This keeps your schedule accurate, doesn’t affect vacation tracking, and you won’t get desk booking reminders on these days. This article shows you how.

1. Open your settings

In the PULT web app, click your profile picture in the top right corner and select Settings.

2. Set “Absent” for a weekday

2. Select the weekday

Under Default Workplace Selection, click the weekday you don’t work, e.g. Friday.

3. Choose Absent

Select Absent. You can also set it for half a day only via First half or Second half.

4. Save your week

Click Save week.

Frequently asked questions

I don’t see the Default Workplace Selection.

Your PULT admin has to enable it for your company.

Is “Absent” the same as vacation?

No. “Absent” marks regular non-working days. For vacation, choose Vacation.
