Excel was built for numbers, not for managing people. Here is what goes wrong.
Someone edits the wrong cell, deletes a row, or overwrites a formula. Suddenly half the balances are wrong and nobody knows which ones to trust.
Pro-rata for part-timers, bank holiday deductions, carry-over limits. Every edge case requires a manual calculation that is easy to get wrong.
The spreadsheet only updates when someone remembers to update it. Employees ask managers about their balance, managers check the spreadsheet, and neither is sure the number is right.
Set up your leave policies once. LeaveManager handles everything from there.
When a request is approved, the balance changes instantly. When a request is cancelled, it is reversed. There is no delay and no manual step.
Part-time employees get their entitlement calculated based on contracted hours. Mid-year starters get a pro-rata allowance for the remaining leave year. You set the rules once.
Set carry-over limits and expiry dates. Or use accrual based leave where entitlement builds up each month. LeaveManager enforces the rules automatically.
Choose whether UK bank holidays are deducted from the employee allowance or treated as additional days off. Region-specific holidays for Scotland and Northern Ireland are supported.
Managers receive email notifications for new requests and approve or decline in a single click. The employee is notified immediately.
