Track staff holiday and plan cover without the August panic
Holiday requests arrive by text, two people want the same week and you can't remember who's taken what. Set up a request form, a tracker that counts days left and a cover plan.
The problem
Without a system, you say yes to clashing requests or forget what someone's used. Holiday for part-time and irregular-hours staff is easy to get wrong.
The outcome
Holiday requests arrive by text, two people want the same week and you can't remember who's taken what. Set up a request form, a tracker that counts days left and a cover plan.
