Corus commissioned a Leave Requests System to handle requests for different types of leave within the company. Workflow is used to obtain approval. The system keeps track of annual leave allocations within the year showing the leave remaining for each person. It automatically uses each person's work pattern to allocate the number of days requested so can deal with part time staff and with non-standard week-ends.
In addition to leave, the system allows people to log their whereabouts. This enables the department to keep track of where everybody is.
The system can create an Excel-based Leave Chart either for a single department or the whole company.
