LuxeBeauty GmbH, a premium beauty product company headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, faced a unique scheduling challenge. Their workforce was split between a busy warehouse and a network of boutique stores, with most employees working part-time.
Warehouse and boutique staff had diverse schedules, with some employees working only two or three days a week and others working half days or specific shifts. This made managing time-off requests a logistical nightmare.
“When someone booked two weeks off, it wasn’t straightforward to calculate how many days to deduct from their annual leave,” says Julia Meier, HR Manager at LuxeBeauty GmbH. “Each employee’s schedule was so different, and figuring out how much leave they had available for booking was time-consuming and prone to errors.”
The lack of clarity frustrated employees, while the administrative burden left the HR team stretched thin.

The lack of clarity frustrated employees, while the administrative burden left the HR team stretched thin.
The Solution: Simplifying Leave Management with TimeOff.Management
Julia found the perfect solution in TimeOff.Management, which offered the flexibility and automation needed to handle LuxeBeauty’s complex scheduling requirements.
Accurate Leave Calculations
TimeOff.Management allows employees to have personalized schedules that reflect their exact working patterns. Whether it’s two days a week, half-day shifts, or unique rotations, the system automatically calculates how many leave days should be deducted for each booking based on their schedule.
“Now, if someone books two weeks off, the system knows how many working days they actually have and adjusts their allowance accordingly,” explains Julia.
Real-Time Allowance Tracking
Each employee’s leave allowance is updated in real time, providing transparency and eliminating confusion. Employees can log in to see exactly how many days they have available for booking.
Streamlined Leave Requests
With TimeOff.Management, employees can book, cancel, or revoke their leave directly from their mobile devices, and managers can approve or decline requests with a single click. The system also flags potential conflicts, preventing overlapping absences that could disrupt operations.
The Results: Stress-Free Scheduling for All
Since implementing TimeOff.Management, LuxeBeauty GmbH has transformed how it manages leave for part-time employees. Calculations are now accurate, the process is streamlined, and employees have full visibility of their time-off balances.
“Our team finally feels supported, and HR can focus on strategic work instead of administrative headaches,” says Julia.
