Staff holiday planning is an important part of workforce management. Coordinating employee holidays across teams and departments can be a tricky process and can often leave your business under resourced at key times.

Traditional paper based staff leave and holiday planning processes are prone to errors and confusion and are costly and time consuming. Streamlining your holiday planning processes across your business will enable you to take control of staff holidays.

The e-days absence management system will bring staff holiday planning and monitoring under one simple process. e-days empowers staff to request their own holiday online, the request is then sent for approval by a manager who can reject or authorise the holiday request with a simple click. e-days provides a clear and accurate process for recording staff holiday in addition to reducing the workload on management.

An integrated holiday calendar will show staff when colleagues are in or out of the office and when they have holiday booked. This enables staff to make more informed decisions on when to take holiday and improve their chances of having holiday approved by a manager. Managers and HR can use the calendar to identify clashes, shortages and potential issues with upcoming staff holidays and absence.

Holiday entitlements are automatically calculated and updated when holidays are taken by staff. e-days gives staff, managers and HR an at a glance view of information regarding holiday entitlements, days taken, days left and other information regarding staff leave and absence.

The flexibility of e-days allows for company processes such as carry over, training days, weekend working, bank holidays and part time workers to be customised to your ways of working. Staff holidays can also be calculated in hours as well as days.
