One headache (out of many!) in HR is the absence planning process, especially at medium to large sized organizations. Spreadsheets is the most common way companies are tracking and planning employee absences which can be very frustrating, confusing and most of all, time consuming.
TimeTECH’s Absence Planning Module can automate this process and manage your employee’s absences.
APM (Absence Planning Module) is a powerful planning tool that gives supervisors and department heads a complete picture of employee absences. It helps them to evaluate how personal entitlement to time off can be balanced against future operational needs. In terms of operational needs, the module supports defining “Coverage Groups”: Any group of employees can be defined as Coverage Groups e.g. a department, team or even people (from separate departments) with a certain field of expertise. Individual employees can be associated with multiple Coverage Groups. Thus, intelligently decide whether to approve, decline or offer alternative dates.
Some benefits of using Absence Planning Module:
- Managers see the “entire picture” before they approve/decline a scheduled absence. No more “last minute surprises”!
- Integration with Absence Tracking and Benefit Accruals allows real forecasting based on actual corporate policies and the employee’s seniority (if applied).
- Integration with TimeKeeper ensures no unnecessary duplication of data.
- Easy to Use
- Straight-forward “Drag & Drop” schedule interface
- Coverage and negative balance alerts pop-up dynamically
The Absence Planning Module is one of many modules TimeTECH can implement when automating your workforce management/time and attendance practices.
