Leave Planner

Leave is a pleasant topic, right up until the admin starts. Who still has how many days? Does the request clash with company holidays? Is the entitlement even full for someone who joined in July? The leave planner answers exactly these questions without you maintaining a spreadsheet full of half-forgotten formulas.

The calculation follows German leave law (BUrlG). Statutory minimum leave, the pro-rata entitlement for joining or leaving mid-year, the rounding rule for partial-year leave and carryover into the next year are all built in. Employees with a severe disability get their additional leave taken into account. You see not just a number but understand how it came to be.

Requests run as an orderly process: employees submit a leave request, the responsible person approves or declines, and the leave account updates automatically. No slip of paper vanishing on a desk, no follow-up about whether last week is finally signed off.

The team calendar shows absences side by side so half the department does not end up on the beach at once. You enter company holidays and blackout periods centrally, and special leave and sick notes can be tracked separately. That keeps cover arrangements plannable instead of improvised each time.

The leave planner is one building block of HR Management and shares its data with time tracking and the shift planner. Anyone with approved leave is not offered as available in the roster, and the absence shows up consistently everywhere. Enter once, correct everywhere.

This saves nerves and real money: leave that is not taken and expires at year-end, or has to be paid out, is expensive and annoying. Seeing the remaining balance early enough lets everyone steer in time - for employees and for accounting alike.
