Is manual leave management draining your time and resources?

 

Running a successful retail business requires a lot of juggling. From managing stock levels to overseeing employee schedules, retail leaders have a lot on their plates. Especially during busy periods, manually tracking and organising employee leave requests can quickly become overwhelming.

Here’s where manual leave management gets messy for retailers:
 

  • Overlapping holiday requests from retail staff leaves you struggling to fill shifts.

  • Tracking staff who work across multiple locations.

  • Communication arriving via email, Whatsapp, or note have led to misplaced requests and frustrated employees.

  • Errors in holiday recording have left you wondering how much holiday certain employees have left.

Believe us, we understand where you’re coming from.

That’s why Leave Dates aims to simplify leave management and create a reliable system for keeping retail HR as easy as possible.

Our feature-rich system will have you organising, allocating, and tracking leave with peak efficiency in no time.
