The voluntary sector organisation I work for needs some software for calcul ating staff annual leave entitlements and recording leave taken. We use Exc el but need something better.
The problem is a lot of staff tend to be less than full time and/or do bits of extra hours for a few months and this makes the calculations tricky as they earn extra pro-rata annual leave when they do.
We use Sage but the bit of that that might handle this can?t, so I?m to ld.

I'd have thought that a _voluntary_ sector organisation wouldn't use leave "entitlements" but simply rely on agreements re when to go on holiday, BICBW.

If you are recording the hours I don't see why this can't be done in Excel.

I think your point is that it sounds odd for a _voluntary_ sector organisation to have paid staff. I agree it sounds odd but seems to be the accepted term. See
Employment law for charities is no more fun than employment law for anyone else.
nor is H&S. Vounteers have to be treated as employees in this respect..
You need a Sage developer to write you the necessary code. Might be expensive!
Thanks for the responses.
I only mentioned the voluntary sector to imply that we don't have much money to spend on this.
The organisation has a number of paid staff and a number of voluntary staff. It's the paid staff that are having their annual leave calculated and recorded just like in any other "company".
I'm assuming that the OP is asking about the paid staff, in which case I don't see the problem
someone, somewhere has to have worked out their hours in order to pay them, so this same figure is the one that is used to calculate their holiday entitlement.

It can. I used to use Excel to work out all my staff working hours (using very flexible attendance times), leave allowances, sickness absences, productivity bonuses (which could be individual, team or group) and to link those into management accounts that gave me very precise costs of production and predicted monthly outputs. However, the limiting factor might be the abilities of whomsoever is doing their Excel programming.
