Does the word ‘Holiday’ give you a headache?

If yes, you will know the thing they are most precious about is their holiday, and rightly so. We all look forward to our days off, whether we are wanting to laze in the sun, take part in some kind of adventure, take time for hobbies or just sort the garden out. Spending time with our friends and loved ones, or even time away from people altogether is our reward for having to get up and go to work every day.

People have to meticulously plan their allocated 20-something days – juggling school holidays and saving time for poorly children, school sports days or possible household emergencies, family dramas, that Wednesday wedding, taking the pet to the vet etc…

You also have the ‘dedicated to the desk’ types, who get to the end of the year and have not used their compulsory 20 days, they are really needed for the next month, but you need them to take time off to comply with the Working Time Directive.

Registering annual leave requests, logging time taken, ensuring the whole team is not all out at once, requests for changes to already booked holidays, as well as the last minute requests, can be frustrating for managers and employers.
