Managing Annual Leave and Sick Days: Simplify Your HR Process
The Annual Leave Rush in January
With the new annual leave year starting for many companies in January, managers and HR personnel often find themselves inundated with requests for spring and summer holidays. This busy period can become even more challenging with the spread of colds, flu, and other viruses, leading to a stressful time for everyone involved.
Handling Holiday Requests Efficiently
Dealing with holiday requests can be time-consuming and stressful. It is crucial to determine what each employee is entitled to, which varies from country to country. Additionally, ensuring that an employee’s absence does not disrupt business operations is essential.
Streamline Your Process with HRLocker
A Holiday and Absence Management solution like HRLocker can simplify these tasks. With HRLocker, you can easily track your employees’ entitlements and monitor who is off and when. The ‘Who’s Off’ calendar allows you to check who is booked off on particular days, ensuring that there are enough staff members available to keep the business running smoothly.
Coping with Seasonal Illnesses
Has your office been hit by the current virus going around? If not, count yourselves lucky. Many offices, including ours, have seen a significant number of employees affected by various bugs this year. HRLocker automates the process of dealing with sick employees. If an employee is unwell, they log into HRLocker, record their sickness, and their manager receives a notification by email. HRLocker also allows you to monitor and keep track of who has been off, when, and why.
Annual Leave Allowance and Holiday Fever
With the New Year’s annual leave allowance appearing on everyone’s dashboard, holiday fever sets in! Everyone seems to be planning trips to sunny destinations. For staff members who want to know their entitlements, HRLocker provides a handy Holiday Calculator.
Enjoy a Staycation
Don’t forget the joys of a staycation! Last summer, it felt like the Costa del Burren here in West Clare. At HRLocker, we even considered whether remote working could extend to a day at the beach. Although surfing with a laptop isn’t practical, we enjoyed the sea view and had lunch breaks eating ice cream on Lahinch promenade.
Here’s hoping for another fabulous summer so we can use our leave days soaking up the sun!
