The winter vacation is just around the corner and employees are planning their days off. How are you going to register their absence?
No matter if your team members are planning to go skiing in the Norwegian mountains or relaxing on a beach in Thailand, they had to register their time-off somehow. Maybe they sent an email with their planned vacation dates to you or the payroll team? Maybe the managers asked them to write their vacation days into an excel sheet many months ago? Maybe you are the one responsible for gathering all the vacation dates and ensuring that everything is shipped off to the payroll team in due time?
Manual absence registration is no easy task. It can be quite time consuming and require a lot of work, with a high probability of mistakes and errors. Especially with all the different vacation rules for each country, which makes it even more difficult to keep track of. That is why digital absence registration is one of the most sought-after areas in HR-tech, and an area where we know there are a lot of value to gain, through digital automation and optimisation.With a modern digital solution for absence registration, you get multiple benefits such as:
