New Leave Policies

As you know, Office Control can help you manage your leave by adding leave policies which are check when a leave request is made. These can ensure department levels are maintained or key employees are not away at the same time.

We have added 2 further policies to help in this area. They are 'Maximum number of days allowed for a leave type' and a series of Location based controls.

Office Control already maintains annual leave entitlement with various configurable elements designed to streamline your effort in this area - but previously it allowed any number of days to be booked against all the other leave types available. These can now be controlled with a policy. For instance, if your company allows Birthday leave days to be requested you will probably only want your employees to take 1 a year. Now Office Control will manage this automatically.

We have had department based policies for some time, now Office Control allows the same policies to be added by location. This has added significantly to Office Controls ability to help you control your employee's leave right across your company.

Office Control is now even more secure

Office Control now creates a 1024 bit SSL encrypted session when ever any client logs on. This scrambles all data sent to and from our servers until the client logs off ensuring complete security during the process.

The encryption is visible by the following characteristics:

1. http://www.office-control.co.uk changes to https://secure.office-control.co.uk
2. A lock appears next to the address bar or at the bottom of the page (depending on the browser)
3. By clicking on the lock, you can view the SSL certificate
