Save the stress for airport security

Holidays shouldn’t mean more work for everyone else. Manual processes distract HR and payroll teams from bigger priorities and make it difficult for managers to plan ahead. 

Our holiday management software automates time-consuming tasks and gives everyone the information they need to keep things moving.

How People First gives everyone a break

Accurate calculations

Prevent errors with holiday calculations that automatically apply your policies and feed straight into payroll. Employees get paid correctly, while HR and payroll spend less time making retrospective adjustments.

Hassle-free holiday bookings

Let employees book holiday and check entitlements at any time through our self-serve system. Managers can approve requests from anywhere in just a few clicks, so everyone can get on with their day.

Business continuity

Shared calendars give teams a clear view of holidays and availability, making it easy to plan cover and keep things on track.

“It's a fantastic system with easy access for us and our employees.”

Everything you need in one place

Real-time calculations

People First automatically calculates holiday pay using your organisation's policies. That means greater accuracy and more time for valuable work.

Employee self-service

Employees can view and manage their holidays whenever it suits them using the People First mobile app. This gives employees more control of their work-life balance and avoids unnecessary questions for HR.

Shared holiday calendars

A shared view of employee availability helps everyone plan with confidence. Managers can schedule workloads and arrange cover in advance, while team members can avoid clashes when booking holiday.
