FAQs
Q. QuestionWhat reporting capabilities does a holiday management software have?
A great holiday management software enables custom reporting helping you manage payroll and meet your other reporting requirements. BrightHR’s holiday management planner and booking system integrates into other core products like absence management and sick leave, overtime to expenses and more. This helps you not only stay legally compliant but also more easily manage things like payroll! One of the key benefits of an all-in-one software is the reporting headaches that go away.
Our holiday planner and booking system is part of our HR Software BrightHR. This is important so that you have all of your employee records, payroll reporting and HR needs all in one place. It’s more cost-effective and time-saving to get complete HR software that has holiday management rather then buying standalone features that dont work together. It’ll save you time and money in the long run.
Q. QuestionWhat are the legal requirements that make having a holiday management software so pertinent?
New Zealand employment law provides leave entitlements that employers must understand and uphold as part of their obligations, which makes having a system that records leave allowances, leave taken, and leave owed will support you in being compliant with the legislation and give you an audit trail on annual leave records at a press of a button.
Maintaining transparency is essential when it comes to holiday management at work. But this transparency can’t simply begin and end with your holiday policy. Maintaining your accessible, centralised staff calendar on BrightHR lets you know who’s on or off, helps you stick to policies, and gives your workers opportunities to plan their holidays better.
BrightHR holiday management software can give you all this and more in the form of easy ways to accept or decline holiday requests, and faster decision-making thanks to a system that flags holiday clashes for you.
