Step 1: Sign up for Timetastic

To get started, sign up for a free one-month trial with us. You don’t need to provide any card details, which means you can explore the platform at your own pace and without any commitments. Once you're in, you'll get access to a centralised dashboard that’s designed to streamline the process of managing time off. This user-friendly platform allows you to track and organise leave requests, view employee schedules, and analyse holiday trends, making leave management super simple.  

Step 2: Access your personal dashboard 

After logging in, each employee receives their own holiday dashboard. This provides a clear view of your annual leave and breaks down your time off into different leave types such as annual leave, sick leave, and bank holidays. It shows you exactly how much time you have left for each leave type, helping you plan ahead. You can also use the dashboard to send reminders and notifications about upcoming holidays or leave requests, keeping everyone in the loop.  

Step 3: Request time off 

Gone are the days of filling out forms or updating spreadsheets. To request leave, simply head to your personalised holiday calendar. There, you can view all your upcoming holidays and available leave days. Select the dates you wish to take off, add any additional notes or reasons for your leave if needed, and with just a few taps, your request is submitted.  

Step 4: Stay informed with instant notifications 

Once your leave request is made, managers can approve or decline requests with the click of a button. Timetastic makes sure that both employees and managers receive instant email notifications, keeping everyone in the loop when a leave request have been approved or denied. This streamlined process ensures quick approval from managers, allowing employees to plan time off with confidence and peace of mind.  

Step 5: Receive real-time updates 

As soon as your leave is approved, your calendar reflects the changes instantly. This transparency helps you manage your time more effectively and avoids any confusion about remaining leave. This also helps both you and your team stay on the same page regarding availability and commitments. This seamless integration supports better workflow and communication throughout the business, making sure everyone is prepared and no one is caught off guard.
