Holidays and absences

Request and approve holidays, holiday balance with carry-over, holiday blackout periods, reporting sick without a diagnosis – with an immediate search for cover.

Why does this feature exist?

Holiday requests on slips of paper, sick notes by voice message and a holiday balance in a separate spreadsheet: this is how you quickly lose track of who is away and when. With Lumigast, your team requests holidays on their phones, you approve with one tap, and the rota knows straight away.

What does it do for you?

  • Request on the phone, approval with one tap – no paper forms
  • Lumigast calculates the holiday balance with carry-over and pro-rata entitlement for you
  • Holiday blackout periods, for example on New Year’s Eve or in peak season
  • Reporting sick without a diagnosis – affected shifts go straight into the search for cover
  • Anyone who is absent shows red when you schedule them: double planning is spotted straight away
