There are one of two extremes that can occur when it comes to managing employee time off and absences, as well as using an attendance management system. On the one hand, an increasing number of companies are worried about employees not taking any of their allowed vacation time. This tends to happen primarily in very competitive companies, such as organizations in the tech industry. Even though employees might have vacation time available to them, and in some cases even unlimited paid time off, they’re not taking it. They feel the culture of their company doesn’t allow for it, no matter what the technical rules say. This has led some businesses to enact mandatory time off.
