How It Works
Request leave
Driver submits leave request via app. Specifies dates, type (holiday, sick, personal), and optional reason.
Manager review
Manager sees request impact on scheduling. Coverage forecast shows whether team can cover absence. Approves or reschedules.
Automatic blocking
Approved leave automatically marks driver as unavailable in rota. Won't be allocated to trips.

Real-World Use Cases
Team coverage during peak season
June is busy season. Multiple drivers request holiday. Manager can see impact on available capacity and schedule accordingly.
Sickness absence management
Driver calls in sick. Notifies manager via app. Mark as unavailable. System auto-reschedules pending trips to other drivers.
Flexible working arrangements
Part-time drivers work varying hours. Different leave entitlements. System tracks accrual per individual.
Multi-site operations
Driver at Manchester depot requests leave. HQ sees impact on Manchester operations separately. Franchise-level forecasting.
Regulatory compliance
EU driver must have 46 hours rest per week. Leave integrated into compliance checks. System prevents scheduling violations.
Dispute resolution
Driver disputes hours paid in absence period. Pull leave record. Timestamped approvals and recorded amendments. Clear accountability.
Reduce Scheduling Conflicts and Improve Workforce Planning
Leave management chaos creates staffing gaps, confusion, and compliance violations. Without visibility, drivers request leave via phone or email, you manually track it on a spreadsheet, approvals get delayed, and trips get assigned to unavailable drivers. Drivers miss trips. Customers complain. Fines follow. Worse, drivers feel disrespected because their leave requests disappear into a black hole.
FleetYes's leave management puts transparency and control in one place. Drivers request leave through mobile app, manager sees impact on coverage instantly, approvals happen in seconds, and unavailable drivers are automatically excluded from scheduling. Drivers have peace of mind knowing their request is tracked. Managers have confidence that they won't over-allocate.
The result is immediate: coverage forecasting built in, payroll integration automated, and zero "surprise" staffing gaps. Fairness increases driver satisfaction, compliance violations disappear, and operations run smoothly.
