If you are reading this text then, let me guess it right, you do the HR paperwork manually. Did you know that HR tracking software can help you out and save your time with routine tasks?

Probably, you didn’t consider using it because you thought it’s costly or hard to learn. Not at all.

The vacation day-off sick leave form template you see above is already set up in Comindware Tracker HR Solution and it’s ready to use.

Just imagine: instead of printing out papers, using day off request email templates, filling out forms and signing them, you can just hit a button and initiate the vacation, day-off, sick leave process for any of your employees. Oh wait… you don’t even have to do that: the employee who wants to obtain, for example, a vacation hits the button online, and thus starts the perfectly organized HR process for you. All records are kept under strict business rules so the initiation of the process and the request approval are recorded online.

“…the request goes to the right person in the right form, and the request can’t be missed or left aside…”
