Personal holiday calendar 

With Timetastic, each member of your team gets access to a personalised calendar offering a clear view of their leave allowances, usage, and what's left. This handy feature not only helps you plan your holidays more strategically but also keeps team communication smooth by flagging potential overlaps. With this detailed insight, you can avoid those last-minute requests and balance work-life, boosting workplace efficiency. 

Easy request approval 

Employees can easily submit leave requests through their online dashboard. Managers can approve or decline leave requests with a simple click, making the approval process quick and efficient. This user-friendly system encourages proactive planning and minimises disruptions to team schedules. It also helps to streamline the holiday booking process for a quick response. 

Instant notifications 

Timetastic provides automatic email notifications for both leave requests and approvals, making sure that employees are immediately informed when a decision on their request has been made. This feature is super important for maintaining clear communication within teams, as it reduces the chances of miscommunication. Employees can feel confident that their leave requests are being processed quickly, while managers can easily track and approve requests as they come in.  

The wallchart 

The wallchart gives everyone in your team a full and easy view of all team absences. It's a fantastic tool for employees, letting them clearly see team schedules. Knowing when colleagues are off helps you to plan for tasks and projects more accurately, making sure all work is covered and everything runs smoothly. It also helps spot any gaps or overlaps in the team's availability, promoting better communication and teamwork.  

Daily or weekly digests 

This feature is designed to keep employees informed on all upcoming absences within the team. Each day or week, depending on your preference, team members will receive a concise summary directly to their inbox, highlighting who will be away and when. By providing this clear overview, employees can plan their work schedules more effectively, reassign tasks if necessary, and make sure that projects continue smoothly even in the absence of team members. This proactive approach helps to boost productivity and prevent disruptions, as everyone is aware of potential gaps in the team ahead of time.
