Are you still tracking employee holidays in a spreadsheet or on a whiteboard?
WorkSmarter organises annual leave across your teams, giving you more time to run your business.
It's easy to get started. Set up your free account in under 60 seconds, or read on to find out more.
Give full visibility to all your staff, so everyone knows who's off and when.
Employees request time off — they'll be alerted if the requested dates would exceed their holiday allowance, or conflict with others.
Their manager is notified of the request. They can see if the dates would exceed their holiday allowance, or leave the department short-staffed.
The holiday is then approved or declined. If approved, their allowance is reduced, and the dates appear on the calendar for their colleagues.

We built WorkSmarter's Holiday Planner to be flexible, adjusting to the way different businesses operate their holiday and staff leave policies.
Whether you track holiday by days or hours, roll-over unused time, or grant TOIL — WorkSmarter's system adapts to suit you.
Flexible Tracking — by Hours or Days
Easily set holiday allowances across multiple years, and pro-rate entitlements for new employees joining mid-way through the year.
Carry Over Unused Holiday Time
Roll over unused holiday automatically from one year to the next — or adjust these allowances by hand.
Time Off In Lieu
Optionally award extra time off instead of overtime pay, and manage these allowances separately for staff.
