MTIS
Holiday Scheduler: absence monitoring tool ideal for Practices
MTIS
Holiday Scheduler is a product used by hundreds of organisations;
from small companies with around ten staff, right up to blue-chip
companies, such as the National Blood Service, Gerling, Initial Hygiene,
the RAC and Motorola. Many general practices use the product.
MTIS
Holiday Scheduler allows Practices to monitor staff holidays, sickness
and training. Which means managers can plan workload during holiday
periods effectively.
It is extremely
simple to use and requires no training. In addition to holidays, sickness
and training, the user can allocate six other codes to monitor such
things as maternity leave, jury service, secondment, etc. Monthly
calendars give a clear indication of staff availability. Because of
the visual impact it is easy to see patterns of absence.
Individual reports
can be produced for each member of staff detailing holiday taken and
booked, and any outstanding holiday. This is supported by individual
calendars which show an individuals absences for a complete year on
one page.
NHS Case
Study : Hourly-based holidays
One development,
specifically carried out for Parsons Heath Medical Practice, has been
a scheduler with holidays allocated in hours. With many Practices
operating with part-time staff and job sharing, some Practices allocate
holidays in hours rather than days.
Practice
Manager Jan Wood says: "Since we calculate holiday at our Practice
in hours, it was difficult to find an off-the-shelf programme that
did this. MTIS worked with us to develop an excellent solution that
will save us a great deal of time when managing holiday, sickness
and study leave."
This application,
along with standard schedulers, can be downloaded
and trialled free for seven days.
Purchasing is
easy. Following a successful trial, the customer simply has to return
to the website, quote a registration number and make payment. With
prices starting at £40, the product soon pays for itself in saved
administration time, not to mention control of unauthorised leave.
