The Online Staff Holiday Planner

Having visited hundreds of companies, only to find HR, Administrators, company owners, and managers ALL, wrestling with the same age-old problem of who can take holiday when and, in the main, asking themselves Who’s Off? … we felt it was time to deliver a FREE and simple to use service online.

WhosOff.com makes easy work of staff holiday planning applying restrictions between staff where applicable, application followed by approval by manager and a transparent view to all those involved within the organisation online anywhere.

Where can I use it ?

If you can get online, and browse the web, you and your staff can book/request holiday/vacation and approvers can approve or decline. So head office can approve a remote Office requests, or a department manager can approve holiday whilst at his/her desk or away on business. Staff can plan their next vacation/holiday with their partners from home.

Who’s off? – A broader view

WhosOff encourages staff to be more considerate in booking and planning their holiday in a timely fashion, getting staff to book in advance and reducing last minute requests.

WhosOff gives the classic holiday planner view by individual department or whole organisation, making it easy to see the impact of any holiday request.

Sickness

From time to time we will all have one or two days legitimately off sick. However, WhosOff enables you to visibly see the patterns of sickness across the organisation or for each individual. Therefore the habitual’ Monday Sickness’  begins not only to show up to the super-user but also to the member of staff as well as the ‘Red blocks’ become only too apparent to all.

If you set WhosOff to allow your staff to log sickness for each other, calls reporting in sick can be logged immediately and an automatic email will be sent to that member of staffs approver/notify manager giving early notification and enabling managers to plan the day where necessary.

Departments

Companies/organisations with perhaps fewer than 12 staff might prefer not to use departments and view the company as a whole. Of Course, larger organisations will always need to see the impact of holiday by department allowing managers to assess and approve holiday accordingly.

Who cannot be off with who ?

If you wish, you can set  ‘restrictions’ between any members of staff.

i.e. Tony cannot be off when Alan is off.

The WhosOff system will notify a restriction when a user initially requests leave, but you do not have to use this facility if you do not want to.

National Holidays

As WhosOff is used by many different organisations in different countries, the system allows users to indicate their own national holidays/bank holidays, which will be recorded to your own individual company/organisation profile.

These days are not deducted from staff leave entitlement.
