WizzHire HR · Time off
Time off, without spreadsheets or paperwork.
An employee asks for days off in the app and their manager approves in one click. WizzHire counts how many days everyone has left.
For employees
Employees ask for time off themselves.
On their own page, everyone sees how many days they have left, how many they have used, and which requests are still waiting. To ask for time off, they pick the type of leave and the dates, and add a note if they want to.
- Before sending, they see how many days the request takes and how many are left afterwards.
- If a new request overlaps one they already sent, the app offers to merge the two into one.
- If every day they picked is a weekend or a holiday, the request can't be sent: those days don't need one.
Approvals
Every request goes straight to the person who approves it.
A request goes to the employee's own manager, and if that manager is away too, it goes to theirs. With the Advanced leave add-on you can also name exactly who approves a particular type of leave, so sick leave always goes to someone in HR, for example.
Everything needed for the decision, in one place
The dates, the type of leave, the note, and who else from the same department is away on those days.
A rejection always comes with a reason
A request can't be turned down without a reason, and the employee gets it by email along with the decision.
Nobody approves their own request
Every request is approved by the person responsible, not by the employee who submitted it. Each request clearly shows who approved it, and when several of them pile up, they can be approved together.
Counting days
Always know how many days everyone has left.
You set the rules once: how many days each person gets, what someone who joins during the year gets, and what happens to the days they don't use. From then on WizzHire does the counting, and every change is recorded.
How many days each person gets, and which days count
For each type of leave you define how many days a year someone gets. Those days are available to them from 1 January.
- Leave is counted in working days
- For each employee you define the working days, Monday to Friday for example. A week of annual leave then comes to 5 days: weekends aren't deducted, and neither are public holidays that fall within the leave.
How annual leave days are granted
You define how employees receive their annual leave days.
- 1. The full annual leave
- The employee is granted the full number of days for the year straight away.
- 2. Based on the number of months worked
- The number of annual leave days is worked out from how many months the employee worked that year.
- 3. A number of days you agreed
- You can enter the exact number of days that applies to a particular employee.
What happens to unused days
Choose one of the three options.
1. They carry over into the next year
Unused days carry over automatically and stay available to the employee.
2. They are lost
Days not used by the end of the year are cleared automatically on 1 January.
3. They carry over, within a limit
With the Advanced leave add-on you can set a maximum number of days to carry over and a deadline for using them.
