Why Manual Holiday Calculations Are Harder Than They Need to Be

  • Error-prone – Mistakes in entitlement calculations can lead to confusion and disputes, affecting employee relations.
  • Time-consuming – Manually updating spreadsheets and double-checking leave takes up valuable time.
  • Staffing challenges – Poorly managed leave can result in being short-staffed, impacting productivity.

The Most Frustrating Holiday Calculation Scenarios (And How The Holiday Tracker Solves Them)

Certain holiday leave calculations are simple, but others can quickly become a headache. Here are three common challenges that small businesses face:

🔹 Part-time staff – How do you fairly calculate holiday for employees who work fewer hours? The Holiday Tracker handles pro-rata calculations with ease.
🔹 New starters and leavers – When an employee joins or leaves mid-year, calculating their holiday entitlement can be a time-consuming process. The Holiday Tracker automatically adjusts for these scenarios.
🔹 Changing hours or days – When employees change from full-time to part-time or vice versa, recalculating their leave can be tricky, increasing the risk of mistakes. With The Holiday Tracker, entitlement is adjusted automatically, ensuring accuracy.

These tricky situations are no longer a problem when you use The Holiday Tracker to manage your holiday calculations.
