Time Off

Everyone loves holidays! Making sure that you manage your peoples holidays properly is important.

The time and length of annual leave is normally organised at least two weeks in advance by both the employee and their manager. This avoids the unwanted stress that comes with trying to run the business while you are a pair of hands down. 

There are a few things to remember when it comes to your staff and their holidays:

• Generally you should avoid giving leave before employees are entitled to it
• Any leave requests should be in writing and should be signed by both of you
• A staff member with a large amount of holiday leave owing to them is a risk that needs to be managed carefully, make sure you keep an eye on the leave balances
