Track every type of absence, and get alerts when somebody shows a worrying trend. Heatmaps and infographics help you understand patterns and workforce mentality, while individual absence records help you investigate problems and take appropriate action.
As well as basic sick leave, you can create as many types of absence as you like. This could include authorised leave, AWOL, or even work from home days. It's up to you how you define an absence, and how this impacts other areas of the employee's record, such as pay.
Your company or team calendar view shows you at a glance who is in or out on any particular day. You can set rules and permissions to decide who can see other people in their team, and you can restrict sensitive information such as the reason for an absence or a sickness detail.
Set trigger points for different absence types, and tell your system how to handle it when a threshold is reached. Use popular scoring systems like the Bradford Factor, or design your own, and customise what happens during an escalation – such as verbal, written or final warning.
Discover trends or insights that traditional reports do not uncover, such as absence patterns occurring at certain times of the week, localised to certain teams, departments or locations. Ask AMI to help you interpret your absence data to figure out what's happening and improve attendance.
Design scoring systems to identify problem absence thresholds, or use well-documented systems like Bradford Factor, which comes pre-programmed in your Sense HR system. Heatmaps and colour codes help you see at a glance what is happening, without the need to sift through reports.
Sense HR lets you record and document every instance of absence, for any reason, and then helps you analyse the patterns and trends, to help you support your staff and improve attendance.
Select from pre-built templates, or design your own, and track each type of absence separately.
Automatically calculate Bradford Factor scores for each person, and set custom action triggers.
Upload GP fit notes against each absence record, and automatically track and flag expiry dates.
Auto-book return-to-work interviews, with templates and notes built directly into the system.
Spot patterns, problems, and insights that traditional reports fail to uncover – just ask AMI.
See who's off, when, and why. Filter by team, location, department, or create a custom group.
Automatic SSP calculations that understand qualifying days and auto-stop at 28 weeks.
Decide what happens when a threshold is triggered – design disciplinary and support processes.
See absence rates by team, location, or department, with year-on-year and cost comparisons.
We built Bradford Factor scoring into Sense HR because it is one of the most-used standards in the UK for helping HR detect problem absences and take action. The Bradford Factor helps you uncover instances of several short spells of absence, which are often a sign of bigger problems brewing.
Bradford Factor is a tool in your tool kit, and should not be used as a standalone process for managing absence! All instances of absence should be looked at with human judgement, and individual circumstances taken into consideration.
