Problems often occur with holiday planning, which can disrupt the smooth running of a company. Many companies still use Excel spreadsheets for holiday planning, although this can have some disadvantages.
Excel spreadsheets require time-consuming manual input and updating.
The risk of input errors and the associated shifts and incorrect calculations is increased.
Excel files can easily be copied, changed or even accidentally deleted, which can lead to data loss. There is also a high risk of unauthorised access.
Excel files are often saved locally and not everyone in the team can or should be able to access them. This makes teamwork more difficult.
Excel was not developed specifically for holiday planning and therefore offers limited options, e.g. for authorisation procedures or obtaining substitution commitments.
Leave requests with substitution, approval processes and adjustments to the leave account are automated.
Information about remaining leave at the end of the year can be automated and legally secure.
Managers maintain a transparent overview of all absences, substitutions and remaining holidays.
Authorisation procedures facilitate personnel planning, as it can be ensured that there is always an employee on stand-in duty.
Automatic calculations help to minimise human error.
Transfer processes to wage and salary files and to payroll centres take place without errors.
Clear calendar views facilitate personnel planning.
All authorisations and substitution rules can be set individually.
Simple holiday requests and transparent access to the holiday calendar enable employees to plan well and contribute to a high level of job satisfaction.
