Staff holiday planner

No more paper forms and lousy spreadsheets

Managing staff holiday leave the old-fashioned way—by hand—is a pain. It’s hard, takes ages, and you’ll certainly agree… it’s boring. So we fixed it for you with BrightHR.

This award-winning HR software makes your holiday management faster, easier and much more convenient, freeing you from working out holiday leave.

Because you don’t want to waste time figuring out full-time, part-time or variable hour annual leave entitlements. But by law, you must get them right. It’s a big responsibility. And that’s where BrightHR steps in:

• Get automatic staff holiday entitlement calculations and be confident they’re right.
• Even the awkward calculations like when staff join during the holiday year, this software gets it bang on the money.
• All staff entitlements auto-refresh when your new holiday year begins, so you can forget about manual updates forever and trust BrightHR to do its thing.
• Book mandatory leave for your staff with ease.

Too many people off at the same time? Not anymore

It shouldn’t ever happen, but it does. Employers realise too late that they’re short on numbers because some employees booked the same holiday leave.

If scrambling for last-minute cover sounds all too familiar to you, here’s how to avoid it:

• BrightHR flags any holiday clashes with you, stopping any holiday leave chaos before it has a chance to happen.
• Keep track of all employees’ remaining leave so you can plan well in advance for any upcoming busy periods.
• Check the calendar to see your whole team's absences at once—past, present and future.

"As a small team of twelve it’s vital for us to keep on top of absence. Using BrightHR makes us much more organised and centralises our processes, making it quicker for us to manage sickness and holidays.” Ella Ferris, General Manager, Nottingham Credit Union

Get accurate annual leave accrual calculations instantly

Don’t forget, there’s more to annual leave than just managing the mayhem—there’s a legal element, too.

Almost all workers in New Zealand are legally entitled to 4 weeks’ annual leave each year (and that’s before we look at those confusing industrial instruments that might entitle them to something different), so you have to get your holiday calculations right…

Our smart annual leave management software does the tricky calculations, automatically working out accrued leave. Plus, staff entitlements auto-refresh whenever your new holiday year begins.

So, no more figuring out fixed or variable hour entitlements. Simply enjoy BrightHR's automatic and accurate staff holiday accrual calculations, which you can be confident are right and in-line with the law.
