Using LeaveMaster, you can book and approve time off and keep track of who’s in and who’s out of the office, quickly, easily and efficiently. It gives everyone in your company access to a fast and fuss-free online system.

We reported on
Friday that, needing to make efficiency savings of £4.35 billion over the next three years, the NHS could save over £300m by using an online absence management system such as LeaveMaster to automate procedures such as holiday booking and leave processing.
However, the estimated saving of £302 million, which we calculated the Department of Health could make, may actually be quite conservative and, in reality, the Department could save millions more.
This is because we only took into account the money the NHS could save if it used a system like LeaveMaster to automate or eliminate time-consuming procedures such as filling in holiday forms, processing leave requests, recording staff absences and calculating leave balances.
However, the benefit of using a system such as LeaveMaster is that, as well as being used for booking holidays and processing leave requests, it can also be used to record and monitor sickness absence and automatically-calculate the ongoing Bradford Factor score of each employee.
Recording sickness absence in this way can significantly deter unwarranted staff absenteeism, as knowing that their absences are being recorded and their Bradford Factor score calculated, staff are dissuaded from call in sick when they are not really ill.
According to an independent review , with over 45,000 NHS staff calling in sick every day, the NHS loses 10.3 million working days annually due to sickness absence, at a cost of £1.7 billion per year.
So if introducing an online absence management system improved absence rates in the NHS even just by a tiny percentage, millions could be saved in reduced absenteeism costs, on top of the £300 million that could be saved in admin costs.
