Efficiently managing employee time off is crucial for smooth operations and avoiding administrative bottlenecks for teams of all stages and sizes. To further empower HR departments and employees alike, we’ve launched an all-new Time Off feature to simplify leave management, streamline approval workflows, and provide better, easier visibility to time off policies and balances.
The newly added ‘Time Off’ section will serve as a central hub that enables users to view, request and accurately track their time off in just a few clicks, all while getting a real-time, accurate view of time off allocations and utilization. How cool is that?
What you can do with this feature:
Super Admins:
- Super Admins now wield the power to configure comprehensive time off policies tailored to the company's needs. This is done under the ‘Settings’ page > Time Off.
- Quickly configure and assign policies to employees, including carry-over rules and document requirements.
- Set up workflows to delegate approvals so you can let managers handle time off requests. We've got you covered on all fronts!
- Track company-wide balances across different leave types within a policy.
- Efficiently manage incoming time off requests from the dashboard task panel.
Approvers:
- Approvers, typically managers, can easily approve or decline time off requests from their team members.
- The task panel is a trusty sidekick as always, conveniently displaying pending requests for quick review and action.
- Overlapping leaves are highlighted, ensuring visibility and awareness of team availability.
All users:
- All users can request time off directly from the dashboard and choose from a variety of leave types including holidays, sick leave, volunteering, mental health leave, and much more!
- Submitting past days off is now possible as well, eliminating any administrative hurdles.
- Users can easily review their time off balance and activity, enabling them to accurately track how many days they’ve used up and how many they still have remaining.
- Access to time off allocation and balances enables employees to plan their schedules effectively.
Wait, there’s more…
To add to all the core functionalities, alfii offers a Public Holiday Calendar feature that benefits both Super Admins and employees. Super Admins can assign country-specific public holiday calendars to employees, enabling users to accurately facilitate leave planning as well as tracking public holidays respective to their specific locations.
