Absence management software works by providing a range of tools and features to help managers and HR teams keep track of staff absence across the entire organisation. At Access, we offer absence management software that is integrated with time and attendance management software, and this gives managers and HR teams:
Our absence management system offers more than simple holiday requests and sickness tracking. With more than three million people using our tools every day, we understand that growing organisations want to automate their leave tracking and absence management processes. We also appreciate the need to drive operational efficiencies through centralised people analytics and data, and accurate reporting.
The modular nature will support your future scalability plans, while seamless integration with our wider HR suite means our absence management software can support the changing needs of your organisation as it grows.
Absence management software is a holistic solution designed to help organisations manage all absences on one system - from holiday entitlement to parental leave and sickness. It usually includes both a holiday booking system and more sophisticated absence tracking and management capabilities.
A staff holiday booking system has a more specific purpose, which is to help managers and employees to easily view, request and approve holiday requests in a central location.
The best leave management system removes the complexity from managing staff holidays and absences, and provides advanced reporting, alerts and automation of manual tasks to empower HR teams and managers to handle absence efficiently.
Many businesses benefit from a leave management system that provides self-service functionality allowing employees and managers to view holiday calendars, entitlements and book leave on the go, on any device, at any time. The software should also include an employee holiday tracker function for streamlined visibility of holiday bookings across large teams.
Additional key features include real-time notifications to keep managers informed of holiday requests and absences or when changes are made, and system alerts and updates so when laws linked to absence change.
