PeopleOps: How to Automate Vacation and Leave Management
Managing absences (Vacations, Medical Leave, Time-Off) directly affects operations. If two technical leads go on vacation the same week because HR logged it in a spreadsheet the board didn't see, the project delays. PeopleOps solves "Leave Management" by integrating the time-off request with company-wide visibility.
Employee Self-Service
An employee shouldn't email HR asking for vacation. They should request it via an app, where the system already validates if they have available days.
Digital HR in Jestor
This is where Jestor acts, connecting people and data:
- Vacation Portal: The employee accesses the internal app, sees they have "15 days balance," and selects dates on the calendar.
- Waterfall Approval: The request goes to the direct manager (to assess team impact) and then to HR (for labor calculations). All via quick-click buttons.
- Visible Corporate Calendar: Approved vacations feed Jestor's "Absence Calendar." Before scheduling a product launch, the COO checks the calendar to see who will be out.
