The holiday tracker has enabled me to be able to count the days of each employee and be able to send them a report on the leave days balance. After I had implemented the tool I am now able to inform each staff promptly and frankly, it has lessened the paper workload and calculations.

  • Option to enter staff leave as days (and half days) or as hours.
  • Multi-locale support – The tool has been tested to work with different date formats
