Time and attendance system is an ideal tool for holiday management

An advanced time and attendance system can easily become the ideal tool for holiday management within any company, helping employees on all levels attain a better balancebetween work and personal life.

This seems to be a very serious problem nowadays, as the average full-time worker only takes 22 days of their average 25 days allocated leave, according to research from Reed.

In fact, around 45% of employees have cancelled holiday due to work-related commitments, while 24% claimed they would rather forfeit the occasional day off than leave work undone or risk falling behind.

Other reasons cited included a lack of organisation – almost one in five (18%) said they are so busy they forget to book time off – and one in eight (12%) reported they planned their holidays poorly and as a result had too many days to take at the end of the year.

Companies who’re looking out for their employees’ best interests should also consider implementing a solid and reliable time and attendance system designed to offer HR and department managers a clear overview of all holiday bookings and approve (or disallow) them accordingly.

That’s exactly the case with Tensor’s WinTA.NET system, which supports extensive Absence Planning and Entitlement Management. The built-in graphical calendar charts provide a colourful way of viewing an individual’s or a department’s absence records, and each employee can be allocated different entitlements for absence such as annual leave or allowed sickness.

As absence is booked and taken, the remainder available for each entitlement is updated. Entitlement formulae are used to calculate more complex entitlements calculated on a rising scale based upon length of service.

WinTA.NET provides this information through warning email notifications or via hardcopy reports. The system quickly identifies missing employees that are expected to be at work and then informs you via automatic email reporting reports distributed by email.
