iCal: Prevent scheduling meetings when someone’s away

iCal marks absent employees as 'busy' to prevent scheduling them for meetings by mistake.

The system now reflects employee absences in external calendars like Google or Outlook – making it easier to avoid scheduling conflicts.

If someone’s on leave, they’ll appear as busy, which helps block their availability. But if the request is about a change of work location (like remote or field work), the employee can still be invited to meetings.

This change helps you plan more accurately and keep operations running smoothly.
