Where do I see who is away, and how can I plan more efficiently?

On the dashboard, everyone will have a clear overview of who is currently away and when for the next couple of weeks. Under "Absence," they will also find a fantastic and user-friendly calendar that provides a perfect overview of who's away and when. This calendar view is also accessible under each team or location in Huma, guaranteeing seamless planning and coordination within teams.

 

How many days do I have left of my balance?

With Huma, employees have real-time access to how many days they have used and how many days they have left. This comes into play when registering your vacation, empowering you with accurate information at your fingertips. In addition, Huma provides a great overview of all registered days for various types of absences, allowing you to easily monitor your balance for each specific category.

How can I request vacation?

From the Huma App everyone can easily request vacation. It’s super simple and makes the process a breeze, saving valuable time and you can do it from anywhere. When requesting vacation you will get a clear overview of how many days you have left in this period.

 

How does the approval work?

When employees submit vacation requests, managers receive instant notifications and can easily review and approve or deny requests, ensuring timely responses and allowing employees to plan their vacations effectively. When handling the requests you will get all the information you need such as dates, the vacation balance (according to their vacation policy), and additional notes.

 

How do the different policies work? Does it fit my company? 

Do you have employees with different rules? Perhaps there is a difference in the number of vacation days they can take. Maybe employees over 60 years old should have an extra week of vacation? Or perhaps you have employees in other countries where their vacation period doesn't start on January 1st? 

This is where Huma's absence policy comes to your aid. With an unlimited number of policies that can be assigned to different employees, all employees will receive the rules that apply to them. This simplifies the HR process, reduces administration, and ensures consistent management of absences - regardless of the needs you have.

Can you help me with all the questions I get about holiday pay?

In the Nordics, a lot of people will receive holiday pay before the summer, and this tends to be a bit of a hassle for HR. It's tempting to just ask HR, 'When do I receive my holiday pay?' - but Huma has a solution that will minimize the request load. 

With a digital Handbook, you can gather all the information about such matters. Write a short topic about holiday pay, share it with those who should have access to it, and send out a push notification. Everyone with access will get notified and can simply open the app to get the answer right away 💥.

You can also pin important topics, and they will be highlighted on the dashboard and in the Handbook, making them more accessible to the users. 

 

Can I get the data from other systems?

Yes! You can either export all absence to an excel sheet, or you can use our Webhooks integration which allows you to pull absence data from Huma, and into basically any systems out there, in real-time. Read more about Webhooks here and check out the knowledge base for details.
