Give staff a consistent route
Replace informal requests across multiple channels with a clear request record. Full and partial days help staff describe the absence they actually need.
Manage Staff Leave
Make time off easier to request and easier to plan around.
Put the request, the manager's decision and its scheduling impact in one workflow, with working patterns providing calculation context.
Register interestReview the arrangement, not an assumed week
Part-time and rotating staff may have different normal working days. Check the assigned pattern and effective dates before relying on calculated leave hours.
Return to the rota with the decision visible
Once leave is approved, use the scheduling checks to avoid assigning conflicting work. Approval does not itself arrange replacement cover.
