> The **Tempus calendar view** is the per-employee monthly calendar that visualises one person's whole working life in a single layout: working days, scheduled hours, [absences](tempus_absences.md), [time-points](tempus_time_points.md), [public holidays](tempus_public_holidays.md), [company calendar entries](tempus_holiday_calendars.md), home-office days, and balance changes.

The calendar is a read-only report, not a CRUD entity. Reached at Tempus > Calendar, it opens on the current month with your own employee record pre-loaded. From there you switch employee, navigate months, filter by department, country, or status type, or click a day to drill into its entries.

## What it does

Each day cell carries several markers:

| Visual element | What it means |
|---|---|
| **Day-cell background** | Coloured by dominant status: green fully worked, blue home-office, yellow partial, red absence, grey non-working. |
| **Hour totals** | Consumed vs expected hours, on partial days. |
| **Absence badges** | Coloured pills for approved [absences](tempus_absences.md). |
| **Holiday markers** | Flag icons for [public holidays](tempus_public_holidays.md) and [company calendar](tempus_holiday_calendars.md) days. |
| **Home-office badge** | House icon for approved [home-office](home_office_requests.md) days. |

The employee picker is filtered to those you have permission to see: yourself for end users, your department for managers, everyone for HR. The URL carries `?employee_id=...` so the view is bookmarkable. To change a number, edit the underlying entity and refresh.

> [!NOTE]
> Pending [absences](tempus_absences.md) and [corrections](tempus_time_point_corrections.md) may or may not appear, depending on tenant configuration. If you expect a request and do not see it, check whether it is still pending.
