Vacation, Sick day and PTO can be big problems for small businesses.

Often small businesses can not afford to have too many employees take the same vacation days so vacation scheduling is important. It's difficult for employees to schedule vacation time when they don't know which days are still available. Calculating the amount of Vacation, Sick, or PTO currently available to the employee can be tedious error prone task.

ShopClock provides three major tools to help small business manage employee time off:

1. Employees can request any category of time off (Vacation,Sick, PTO, or Bereavement time) by clicking the dates on a calendar. It's easy to schedule their time off requests because the calendar shows vacation and PTO time already scheduled by other employees. See Requesting Time Off

2. A similar calendar is available to the administrator. It displays time off requests and previously scheduled time off and allows the demonstrator to approve, modify, or deny time off requests as well as scheduling holidays. See Managed Time Administration.

3. Tools are provided which allow Vacation, Sick, and PTO to be accrued on the basis of the hours worked by the employees. The administrator can tweak the accrual process by manipulating several variables. Once set up, accruing managed time at the end of each pay period, can be done with a single click.
