1 Hopping off for National Frog Jumping Day? 13/05/27 FROG JUMPING

2 Ready for an eventful year? Why are you getting so many holiday requests for April 18th to 21st and 24th to 28th this year? It s the Easter holiday trick a late Easter means people can have an 18-day holiday for just nine days annual leave. Ok, you probably knew the answer to that one. But why are so many people booking the 4th May off? And why could the 16th June see more people on sick leave? They re a little less obvious. So, we thought we d give you a few clues with this calendar of events in 27. It ll give you an idea of when your employees might be looking to take leave whether it s planned or not. Obviously, this only scratches the surface of time and attendance. But there is a way you can: Control workforce costs Minimise compliance risk Schedule more effectively Improve the productivity of employees Simplify timecard management and exceptions, such as missed clockings and early/late arrivals.
