Key Issues

Monitoring holiday entitlement and absence through sickness, compassion or other reasons across a workforce is seldom straightforward. Many issues can impact the process, creating stress and more work for the HR department, such as:
  • Manual and email requests going unread by line managers for long periods
  • Remote workers being unable to access the information they require to book leave
  • Lieu accrued that is not accurately recorded
  • Absence conflicts leaving key departments or activities understaffed
  • Inaccurate records of unplanned absence hinder disciplinary activities

Benefits include:

Reduced HR overhead - A greatly simplified process of managing employee absence One-click approval or refusal of requests, even from multiple levels of approval, with or without comments Self-monitoring, granting the employee instant access to an accurate record of how much holiday is still available

Improved control - Extensive audit-trail of employee holiday or other absence. A central calendar shows absence status throughout the year
Records are kept accurately and maintained in a central database.

Greater Visibility - The IBM Lotus Notes and Web interface enables HR professionals, line managers and employees to access the same information in the appropriate format for their requirements. Non-leave absences, such as training courses and off-site meetings, can be reported to remove absence conflicts.
