Your frequently asked questions on leave management software
What is a leave planner?
It is a tool that helps businesses track employee leave and absences. A good system will allow employees to book leave and manage absences. It will also allow managers to analyze leave data and set leave quotas.
Creating and managing a leave planner that works for both your business, your customers, and your staff is never a simple task. Making sure staff can book and manage holidays while ensuring you meet the needs of your business can be difficult. Thus, Papershift’s leave planner software can be of help.
What is a leave management system?
Absence tracking systems come in a variety of forms. The one you use will depend on the size and type of business. Larger businesses will have the budget to facilitate a fully featured HR system with an integrated leave management system. Smaller businesses may rely on cheaper alternatives, like spreadsheet software or even a paper-based system.
What are the types of leave?
They can be different based on regions and their legal regulations, however, the most common types are –
1. Casual leave
2. Sick leave
3. Vacation
4. Maternity
5. Paternity
6. Child sick leave
7. Grievance
8. Medical leave
9. Sabbatical and more.
The complexity comes in managing such leave for different employment types such as full-time employees, part-time, student interns, contracted employees, and more.
What is the general process of managing leave?
Companies and HR teams will provide a specific number of paid holidays as leave entitlement for employees.
Employees then can book or request holidays. HR teams or team managers can review such requests and approve or deny them based on business needs.
Such a process gets its level of complexity when business continuity is in question. For example – when a team has too many people on vacation at the same time, it will affect the business, a good leave management software should bring this awareness to the managers.
How do I create a leave plan in excel?
With Papershift’s free excel leave planner you can get this done. However, we’ll leave a word of caution. This is suitable for a team of 2-3 members. For small and medium-sized teams who plan on efficiency, we’d recommend you to try Papershift’s leave planning software.
Is there a quick way to check holiday entitlement for my employees?
Yes, our leave planning software can help you automatically define that.
However, before you pick our software, in the meanwhile, feel free to use our free holiday entitlement calculator tool immediately.
