Your questions, answered
Are managers notified when a leave request is submitted?
Yes. When an employee submits a leave request through the software, the manager receives a notification and can approve or reject it directly from the interface. This allows for quick leave management and automatic schedule updates upon approval.
How do you handle sick leave and medical certificates?
Sick leave can be recorded in the absence management module. Medical certificates can be submitted and stored centrally to maintain a clear history. The staff schedule is automatically updated, making it easier to organize replacements if needed.
Is leave and absence management compliant with legal requirements?
Shyfter helps companies structure leave and absence management in compliance with applicable legal rules. The software tracks leave balances, absences, absence types, and approval history. Final compliance depends on your company's configuration and applicable legislation.
Do team members have access to detailed tracking of their leave and absences?
Yes. Each employee has personal access to the Shyfter Staff app, where they can check at any time: their leave requests (pending, approved, or rejected), validated absences, and remaining balance. This real-time visibility promotes employee autonomy, improves transparency, and significantly reduces administrative exchanges related to leave tracking.
How do you handle last-minute absences?
In case of an unexpected absence, the manager can record it directly in the system. The schedule is updated in real time and our AI assistant can suggest a replacement based on multiple criteria, allowing the organization to adapt quickly. This responsiveness is essential to ensure business continuity.
