This small update contains a number of new features. In summary:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rolling Working Patterns<\/li>\n
  2. Absence Detail Report<\/li>\n
  3. Alternative Public Holidays<\/li>\n
  4. Forgot Password Support<\/li>\n
  5. Email Admins When Employees Go over Entitlement<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Details on each of these features is included below.<\/p>\n

    Rolling Working Patterns<\/h3>\n

    It\u2019s now possible to specify working patterns in multiple weeks that then \u201croll\u201d on repeating themselves. When adding a new Working Pattern from the Employment History page, you can now click the Rolling Pattern tab to specify multiple weeks:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    You can specify the start date as usual, but can also select the number of weeks you want in the pattern (up to 10), and then pick the working days for each week of the pattern.<\/p>\n

    Absence Detail Report<\/h3>\n

    The Absence Detail Report enables you to drill down into the records that make up the absences in your data:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    You can filter by date range, tags and absence type, or enter an employee\u2019s name to run the report specifically for that employee. For example, to get the start and end dates for any sick leave for Eric Employee this month, enter the start and end of the month, enter Eric Employee in the Employee box and select Sickness from the Absence Type dropdown.<\/p>\n

    Alternative Public Holidays<\/h3>\n

    We initially focused our marketing efforts on companies in England, so The Holiday Tracker previously only supported English Bank Holidays, but as we\u2019ve grown, we now have customers in other countries so have adapted to support the different public holidays of other countries, and we can even support a mixture where you can specify the public holidays to be used on an individual basis. Including the ability to ignore public holidays altogether:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    As with many features that are not of interest to most customers, this feature will be hidden by default \u2013 if you\u2019d like to be able to specify the Public Holidays for each employee, please get in touch and we\u2019ll active this feature for you.<\/p>\n

    Forgot Password Support<\/h3>\n

    This was actually rolled out about a month ago, but as it wasn\u2019t mentioned in a blog post, it seems worth mentioning here.<\/p>\n

    Beneath the Login button on the Login page, there is now a \u201cForgot Password?\u201d link:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    If a user clicks this they\u2019ll be asked for their email address. We will then send an email to that address containing a link they can click to reset their password. When they click the link, we\u2019ll reset their password to something random and then email that to them.<\/p>\n

    Email Admins When Employees Go over Entitlement<\/h3>\n

    Another feature that is turned off by default, so get in touch if you\u2019d like it turned on. When an employee goes over their holiday entitlement, we already display a banner warning anyone that views their calendar:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    In addition, we can send an email to your Admins when a holiday request causes this to happen, so you can be pro-active and investigate the situation.<\/p>\n
