“We were looking for an easy, efficient and paperless way for employees to record holiday and their managers to approve. As an online holiday planner, LeaveWizard is very easy to adopt and run. I look after HR, and it saves me lots of time recording and filing holiday forms

What other Small Business Owners Are Saying

Testimonials

If you run one or more care homes, you already know the pattern:

Running leave on spreadsheets works — until it doesn’t

Image
  • Holiday requests scattered across WhatsApp, email, and paper
  • Last-minute sickness creating rota gaps
  • Staff accidentally booked while on leave
  • Scrambling for cover — often ending up with agency staff
  • Stress when inspections ask for staffing records

Spreadsheets aren’t wrong — they’re just not designed for shift-based care.

You don’t need a full HR or rostering system to fix this

Most workforce tools are built for large organisations with HR teams and complex forecasting needs.

Care homes need something simpler:

Evidence for inspectors

Clear

approval

See

who's off

  • One place to see who’s off
  • Clear approval and records
  • Leave visibility that protects rotas
  • Evidence ready when inspectors ask

That’s exactly what LeaveWizard focuses on.

Protect

rotas

What LeaveWizard helps you do

Centralise leave requests

Staff request holidays or report sickness in one place — no more chasing messages.

See leave at a glance

Instant visibility of who’s off, when, and how it affects cover.

Protect your rotas

Avoid double-booking staff and reduce last-minute gaps.

Works alongside your existing rota — no rip-and-replace.

Start small, scale later

Accurate leave and absence history ready for audits and inspections.

Keep clear records

What this looks like in practice

Before:


A care home manager checks three spreadsheets, scrolls through WhatsApp, and still misses that two carers booked the same week off.



After:


All leave requests are logged centrally. The manager sees the clash immediately, approves one request, and plans cover early — avoiding last-minute agency costs.

From £1 per user per month

Down to £0.25 per user per month for larger teams


No feature bloat. No hidden modules.


Just pay for the people who use it.
