This is the ultimate tool to maintain the vacation days of your employees. You can add all your personell, their vacation days, special days (for example: bank holidays), etc. If requested, you are able to provide your employees with their own Day Off Report on the fly, in which their vacation days and their current balance is listed. Furthermore, several other reporting options will give you a total overview of the different departments within your organisation, and the occupation (or understaffing?).
Basic functionality |
|
| First of all, this program is a client/server-program. That means that you will be able to install the program on several computers within your organisation while using the same "Day Off Planner Database" via the company's network. In most cases, you will only allow your Personell Department to use this application. However, the maximum number of "concurrency" users (= users that use the application at the same time) is 10. We did not test higher amounts of concurrency users, but you may even try it with a larger amount of users. | |
|
|
The Day Off Planner will give you the opportunity to add al you personell into the Day Off Planner database. For each employee you can set the day he/she started working at your company and, if applicable, the day he/she will leave or has left. |
|
|
Furthermore, to maintain the vacation days of your employees, the program is equiped with a screen to add, maintain or delete properties of normal and special holidays (e.g. bank holidays), the maximum number allowed and some other characteristics. Of course you will have to configure fixed holidays only once; when the next year is coming up you just press the copy button to set the following year. |
Maintaining vacation days |
|
|
|
The
main screen of the Day Off Planner will allow you to assign vacation days
and to decrease the current balance when the employee will take a day off. In all cases, the current balance of the employee will be displayed in this screen (green: positive balance, gray: zero, red: negative balance). Furthermore, you are able to set some extra paramaters when assigning days (off) to an employee. |
|
|
When decreasing the current account with more than one day at a time, you will be able to set exceptions, if required. For example: an employee will go on vacation at July 30 and will come back to the office at August 20. However, August 13 he will work for one day (during his/her holiday). In this case you don't have to set all days manually. You can select the entire period and then set the exception(s), in this example August 13. |
Reporting functionality |
|
 |
The
Day Off Planner is equiped with several standard reporting options.
However, sometimes a graphic presentation will tell you more than 100
text-based reports. Therefore, some graphic presentations are available. For example: for staggering of holidays and occupation per department. |
 |
The total overview will provide you with a list of all personell, together with their holidays and current balance. |
 |
Absolutely
the most important report functionality is the tool which enables you to
view the occupation per department. This tool will give you the opportunity to select a number of employees and to set a certain period first. After that, you can preview a graphic presentation which will exact tell you how many people are present within each department of your company. And, of course, it will tell you where you will get understaffing. For each of the available reports a printing function is available. This specific report (see right side) is equiped with an exporting option (e.g. save as bitmap). |
 |
When
employees are asking for a current balance of their vacation days, you
will be able to provide them with this kind of report on the fly. Some companies that make use of this application provide their employees with this report every month, together with their pay slip. |
