Simplify holiday and absence tracking.
If you’re a small business owner, chances are you’ve thought, "Do I really need a holiday tracking system? Spreadsheets work just fine!" Believe me, you’re not alone. Many of our customers started out thinking the same.
But here’s the thing: spreadsheets and wall calendars might seem like the easy (and free) solution, but they often come with hidden costs—missed deadlines, miscommunications, and angry customers.
Let me share what I’ve seen time and again from businesses just like yours.
The Hidden Problems of Manual Tracking
When businesses rely on spreadsheets, wall calendars, or scraps of paper to track employee absences, a few recurring issues tend to crop up:
- Mistakes Happen
- Spreadsheets are great until they’re not.
- One wrong date format or an unnoticed typo can lead to overbooked PTO, unused days, or even payroll errors.
- It’s Easy to Lose Track
- Did that piece of paper someone handed you last month get approved? Is it still on your desk, or has it been recycled?
- Tracking requests via email, post-it notes, or verbal agreements can lead to big headaches—and conflicts when employees aren’t on the same page.
- Wasted Hours
- Sorting through overlapping requests and untangling mistakes costs time—time you could spend growing your business or delighting your customers.
- Missed Deadlines and Angry Customers
- When half your team is on holiday at the same time, projects suffer. Deadlines get missed, customers get frustrated, and valuable work hours are lost.
If any of this sounds familiar, don’t worry—you’re not alone. These problems aren’t a reflection of poor management; they’re just what happens when you try to juggle absence tracking on top of running a business.
