Have you ever sat and thought “how much annual leave should my team have?” and then become even more puzzled when you’ve found three different answers to the question? If so, Holiday Manager is for you. Developed with busy PMs in mind, this fantastic new product will help you organise, book and approve leave for your teams. Oh, and it’s also free!
Following on from the success of our popular Practice Index PLUS holiday calculators we have developed Holiday Manager, a simple and easy-to-use platform which has been developed exclusively for primary care.
Staff can request leave online, meaning the days of bits of paper floating around your office are long gone. Then, with an instant check to see who else is off, simply click and you’re done – you’ve approved the annual leave! What’s not to love?
Holiday Manager handles new starter and leaver calculations with ease. It can make instant calculations for part-time workers, calculate (and automatically deduct) bank holidays, and enables holiday to be calculated in either hours or sessions depending on the staff member. Simply add start or finish dates for each member of staff, any contractual terms and away you go! It really is that simple. Where you’re happy to do so, at the end of each year, you can carry over any unused annual leave with one click.
The benefits don’t stop there; Holiday Manager reminds staff that they need to take annual leave and provides you with a list of staff who have high levels of unbooked leave. It also gives you an overview of who is off in the next 30 days, along with any leave requests you have pending.
Holiday Manager also helps you to manage other types of absence, and can even calculate the Bradford Factor to support you in managing sickness absence.
Holiday Manager is designed to make your life easy – and it’s free! – so head over to the HUB, where you’ll find Holiday Manager ready and waiting for you. If you don’t yet have a HUB account, you can sign up for one here (takes 60 seconds) and we’ll get you started.
22nd December 2022 Update
In response to the feedback from Holiday Manager users, we have developed and launched the new Teams feature. The Teams feature allows you to add multiple teams to Holiday Manager in the HUB, ensuring that each staff member sees only what they need to, and requests are streamlined, so they can see at a glance whether their leave is likely to be approved.
