Managers are notified when a new time off request is submitted and can approve or reject holiday requests straight from their e-mail inbox.

Each employee has a sick leave heat map which will highlight which days of the week they take off most often.

When an employee requests time off a notification will show on your dashboard until you have either approved or rejected the request.

Your calendar will show you both approved and pending absences. This makes it easy to look at holiday requests in relation to other events and absences going on at that time.

The who's out list on your dashboard allows you to see at a glance who won't be coming into the office today. It will also tell you when they're expected to return.

When an employee is late for work you can use Staff Squared to log how late they were and what reason they gave for being late.

Staff Squared lets you set absence limits in multiple ways. You can set how many staff per department or group that you allow off at any one time. You can create custom staff limit groups to group together specific staff where only one of them is allowed off at a time.

You can also set two limits for each specific type of absence, one for how many instances of the absence type you allow per employee per holiday year and one for how many consecutive days you allow to be taken for that absence type.

Using an online HR software removes a lot of the stress of not knowing where staff are, what their record of attendance is, and how your small business is impacted. Absence management translates into better performance, better customer service, and better profitability. Book a demo today. It's time invested in your company.
