The manager will get a warning that the employee does not have enough holiday when trying to grant it. Still, as in employee case, manager can grant it. When manager is granting a request, a warning that there are more employees within same period is displayed. Managers will see granted absences no matter if the request is still on his level or not. The grand/reject is possible only when request is on his level. The managers on the same level and below should receive notifications on each grant/reject operations performed after his level.

21 Employee contract With the employee contract Astrow offers the possibility of defining the contractual hours of an employee. It s also possible to link hourly wages to this contract. The advantages lies in the fact that these counters and wages can be defined like a cycle, thus providing historical information and evolutions of an employee. Both T- and C-counters are considered, so the field of application can be very broad. General reporting improvements A number of improvement regarding the reports have been done in this new release, such as: 1. New cost center report: create your own reports based on the cost centers logics that are present in Astrow. Following the standard Configuration and Execution build up, it allows for much more flexibility! 2. Real Counters that were used only in the Team Manager, can now also be used in the reports. This way, more information can be shared with PC-less employees. 3. It s now possible to create your own Activity export inside Astrow. Together with extra information from Astrow, the typical Activity-app-information can now be exported in any required format. 4. The popular AstrowSUITE-legacy reports checkbox not print if empty is reintroduced in AstrowWeb. This setting can be applied to any report and even to multiple columns for an even better view. 21

22 Anomalies Since a long time, it is possible to link counters with an anomaly. These would appear in the daily view. Now these counters can also be shown in the Team anomaly screen and in the Anomalies reports. This allows for even faster decision making. Also in the reports it shows a more in-depth overview of what s going on with the employees. 22
