We are often asked whether Straightforward Timesheets allows one to track holidays. The short answer is yes, it does.
If you set up a project and mark it “internal”, you can then create an activity called, for instance, ”Holidays 2009″.
You can set these activities up to have no overall time limit on them – setting maximum days to Unlimited.
The control of who can book how many days to holidays will come at the next stage – when employees are assigned to the activity. As employees are assigned to activity = “Holiday 2009″, you can specify their holiday allowance as the maximum number of days they can book here. For instance, it might be 25 or 27.
At the end of the calendar year 2009, if days not taken as holiday leave remain on an employee’s account, an Administrator should edit the allowance and zero it out. After that, an employee will not be able to book any more days to “Holidays 2009″.
At the same time, an Administrator should create the next year’s holiday activity on the system – “Holidays 2010″, and allocate employees to it again.
If a carryover of days is allowed in your organisation, days not used up in 2009 can be added to the employee’s holiday balance.
