    • Employees request only what they are entitled to
    • Clear, accurate balances
  3. A team holiday calendar with an amber warning when too many people are off

  6. Holiday balances and requests in the employee app

    Employees see their holiday balances and request time off in the RotaOne self-service app, and managers approve or reject without paperwork.

    • Employees see their balances
    • Requests made from the app
