Request, with the balance visible
Holiday, sickness, or another type you have set up. The person sees what they have left before they send the request.
Leave and sickness
Leave and sickness tracking
Someone asks for Friday. Their manager says yes without seeing that two other people are already off. Sickness arrives as a separate message on Monday. Leave and sickness tracking puts that week, the request, and the balance in one place.
| Person | Mon 6 | Tue 7 | Wed 8 | Thu 9 | Fri 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | Holiday | Holiday | In | In | In |
| Sam | In | In | In | Sick | Sick |
| Priya | In | In | Off pm | In | In |
What you can do
Closures and bank holidays live on holiday planning. This page is the request and the record. CitoHR can also score short, frequent absences with the Bradford factor. That score is a prompt for a conversation, not a disciplinary outcome.
Approve with the week in view
The manager sees who is already off, then says yes or no. Closures and bank holidays stay on the holiday calendar.
The record stays on the person
Approved holiday reduces the allowance. Sickness does not. Next month is not a search through the inbox.
Questions teams ask
Does sickness reduce someone’s holiday allowance?
No. Approved holiday reduces the allowance. Sickness is recorded on the same person, and it does not.
Can someone see their balance before they ask?
Yes. The balance is visible when they request the time, so they are not guessing from a spreadsheet.
What is the Bradford factor used for?
CitoHR can score short, frequent absences. The score is a prompt for a conversation. It is not a disciplinary outcome, and it does not replace the sickness policy.
