Take the Stress Out of Staff Holidays with Coretime

Managing employee holidays can be a major headache, especially during the busy summer and Christmas periods. Colleagues are balancing family commitments, childcare, and well-earned breaks, all while projects need to stay on track. For project-based businesses, ensuring you have enough people available at the right time is even more challenging.

How do you make sure critical projects remain fully resourced when team members are booking time off? Can you meet a project deadline if a key employee is on holiday for two weeks? Many businesses still rely on HR systems, Outlook calendars, or spreadsheets to manage staff absences but these rarely account for project schedules and resource constraints.

That’s where Coretime Leave Manager comes in.

Manage Holidays and Absences Without the Headache

Coretime is more than just a project-based time, expense, and invoicing solution. Its integrated Leave Manager makes holiday and absence management simple and efficient.

Seamless Timesheet Integration: With Coretime, employees don’t need to update multiple systems. Approved leave is automatically reflected in timesheets, saving time and reducing errors.

Better Project Planning: Coretime Leave Manager connects directly with Coretime’s Staff Planner and Resource Manager tools. This means project managers have a clear view of team availability  both for current projects and future ones. You can easily check who’s booked leave when scheduling project timelines and avoid resourcing conflicts before they happen.

Robust Request and Approval Process: Employees can see their leave balance and who else is off before submitting a request, helping to prevent clashes. Managers can quickly review and approve or reject requests based on real-time team availability.

Flexible Leave Management: Coretime Leave Manager handles all types of leave, from annual holidays to medical appointments and time off in lieu (TOIL). If you prefer, you can even pay staff for extra hours worked instead of giving time off — with full tracking of balances and approvals.
