The first step is to collect vacation requests from employees. This can be done via online forms, leave management applications or simply through one-to-one discussions with employees.
Once leave requests have been collected, it's important to analyze the company's workforce requirements to determine peak and off-peak periods. This will enable leave to be planned in such a way as to minimize disruption to company operations.
Finally, it's time to draw up a vacation schedule, taking into account employees' requests, the company's operational needs and any other relevant considerations. This schedule must be clear, fair and effectively communicated to all employees.
Vacation rotation involves alternating vacation periods between employees to ensure an equitable distribution of vacations throughout the year. This can help maintain company productivity and avoid periods of work overload.
Grouped leave involves grouping together the leave of several employees during specific periods, such as the company's annual shutdown periods. This approach can reduce interruptions to operations and facilitate the planning of company activities.
