An employer-wide calendar is available in the Employer utility within BrightPay, which amalgamates all employee events along with other key payroll dates into a single view.

The default view is the 'Planner' view showing four weeks view of all employees and leave types. If you wish to navigate forward or backward in weeks please select the arrow icons on the top right of the planner view.

Leave is show in colour-coded bars. By hovering over a bar on the Planner view for an employee a summary view of that leave is shown.

The triangle icon on the top of a date indicates there is at least one employee on leave or a note/reminder on that date. If you select the triangle on the date a list view will show of employees leave, type of leave and the length of leave

Key features:
 

• shows combined events for all employees (i.e. those entered on the employee calendar, as well as birthdays)
   
• includes general tax year events and deadlines.
   
• ability to filter which kinds of events are displayed on calendar and in the day event list.
   
• ability to add/edit/delete your own notes.

Please note: it is not currently possible to hide employees who have left in the tax year in the client or manager portal

Printing or exporting the employer calendar

It is not currently possible to print or export the employer calendar directly from BrightPay, and there is no integration available to sync the employer calendar with external calendar applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, or Apple Calendar. If you need to share calendar information with someone who does not have portal access, you would need to do so manually — for example, by taking a screenshot of the relevant calendar view.

It is not possible to track employee's leave on BrightPay unless you use the calendar. There is no other feature to record leave types other than the calendar.
