Rota & time off

Time off and holiday balances

Requests from the tablet or app, decisions in the panel, entitlement vs 12.07% accrual.

Requests

Staff request holiday, sickness or other absence from the tablet (Time off) or the Yumee Work app. The request shows their balance, refuses overlaps and, for holiday, checks there is enough left (unless you allow a negative balance). Managers are emailed and see the request under Time off with a badge in the menu.

Balances

Choose under Settings → Company → Holiday & leave:

  • Fixed entitlement — days per year on each profile (e.g. 28).
  • Accrued at 12.07 % of paid hours — the UK statutory method for irregular-hours and zero-hours staff.

Set the holiday year start (company-wide or per person) and hours per day. Balances, used, pending and remaining are shown per person, and absence analytics (Bradford Factor, lateness, no-shows) are under Reports.
