Absence Management Built for Irish Employment Law

Managing employee absence in Ireland means staying on top of a growing list of statutory entitlements. Under the Sick Leave Act 2022, eligible employees are entitled to paid sick leave — a number that increases annually. Add in annual leave (a minimum of 20 days for full-time staff), public holidays, force majeure leave, parent’s leave, and carer’s leave, and the admin burden on HR teams adds up quickly. Time Point’s absence management software handles all of it automatically. Entitlements are calculated based on each employee’s contract, hours worked, and leave type — so you don’t have to do the maths manually or risk a WRC inspection finding gaps in your records.

Real-Time Visibility Across Your Entire Workforce

When an employee calls in sick or submits a leave request, managers need to know immediately — not at the end of the week when timesheets are checked. Time Point’s employee absence management system gives HR and line managers a live view of who is absent, why, and for how long — across every department and location. The visual absence calendar colour-codes leave types so overlaps are spotted before they cause coverage gaps. Automated alerts flag repeated short-term absences or patterns that may warrant a return-to-work conversation, helping managers address issues early rather than after they’ve escalated.

From Request to Payroll — Fully Automated

Every approved absence in Time Point flows directly into payroll calculations. Sick days, annual leave deductions, unpaid leave adjustments — all applied automatically based on the rules you set. There is no re-keying at month-end and no risk of over- or under-paying staff because leave wasn’t recorded correctly. For multi-site businesses — common in Irish retail, hospitality, healthcare and manufacturing — the system consolidates staff absence management data across all locations in one dashboard, giving HR a single source of truth regardless of how many sites you operate.
