In practice
How construction businesses actually use it
A 60-person professional services firm tracked all leave in a shared Google Sheet. Three different versions existed, balances rarely matched, and disputes were common at year-end.
A healthcare provider with 40% part-time staff was manually calculating pro-rata entitlements in Excel, leading to errors and overpayments.
A company with offices in England and Scotland needed different bank holiday calendars for each location, but their existing system only supported one.
The problem
Construction HR problems that leave management solves
Tracking hours across multiple sites
Workers move between sites daily. Paper timesheets are unreliable, and payroll takes days to process.
Right to work compliance
High workforce turnover means right to work checks must be thorough and up-to-date. Fines for non-compliance are severe.
Training and certification expiry
CSCS cards, PASMA, IPAF, first aid: dozens of certifications that must be current. Tracking them in spreadsheets is a liability.
Health & safety documentation
Incident reports, near-miss records, and safety briefing acknowledgements need to be documented and accessible.
Questions
Leave Management FAQ
Does CubeHR handle the UK statutory 28-day minimum?
Yes. CubeHR enforces the 5.6-week statutory minimum for full-time employees, including the option to include or exclude bank holidays from that entitlement. Part-time employees get a pro-rata equivalent automatically.
Can employees request half days?
Yes. Leave requests support full days, AM half-days, and PM half-days. You can also configure custom leave units if your company uses hours-based tracking.
How does carryover work?
You set a carryover limit (e.g., 5 days) and an expiry date (e.g., March 31). Unused days up to the limit automatically carry forward. CubeHR deducts from carried-over days first.
Can we have different leave policies for different teams?
Absolutely. Leave policies can be configured at company, location, department, or individual level. A London office could have 25 days while Manchester has 28 - CubeHR handles it all.
Does it integrate with our calendar?
Yes. CubeHR generates iCal feeds that sync with Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple Calendar. Approved leave appears automatically in your team's calendars.
