Use HR software to block out holiday periods

Written by Kevin Murphy

In this month’s HR software feature round-up, we take a look at blocking out holiday periods and creating customised sickness types.

Blocked holiday periods

You can now set up Blocked Holiday periods. These are periods of time that will cause any holiday requested within them to be automatically denied (with a message explaining why). The blocked period of time will show up on your full-screen calendar as a slightly red background to make it much easier for you to manage holiday requests.

Customise sickness types

Following lots of recent requests, you can now add your own sickness types when recording an absence. Owners and senior admins will be able to create a custom sickness type by following Settings > Holiday & absence > Sickness types. From there you can add a new type of sickness that will then be available as an option each time a sickness is recorded.

HR Software costs as little as £3.50 per user to implement and you don’t need to subscribe to our fixed-fee HR retainer. Get in touch to request a demo and a quote for the HR software.
