The purpose of this Workbook is to allow  the easy tracking of annual leave,
sick leave, overtime and workdays of employees.

The Workbook caters for 20 employees but this can be easily changed to
accommodate a greater or lesser number if needed.

The Workbook is suitable for Managers/Supervisors, or anyone who needs an
up-to-date  position of  annual leave, sick leave, overtime and workdays.

It is not intended to replace top end Accounts/Payroll packages, rather the
intention is to give the local manager an easy to use, flexible method of
tracking and generating an overview of the relevant items.

The Workbook is made up of 12 worksheets for the months January to December.
It also has a summary sheet for the twelve months and separate summary
sheets for annual leave, rankings and workdays. Several graphs are included.

Two Workbooks are included to cater for the fact that some companies use 
January - December while others  use April - March for their financial year.
Use the one relevant for your needs.

Sample data is entered in the April - March Workbook for the months April and
May.  Check it out to see how the Workbook  is used.

To start you need to enter the employees names in the summary sheet with 
their annual leave allowance. In the same W/sheet enter the year and a value 
for Bank Holidays, 11 for Ireland.

To enter data simply type in a user defined single character in the twelve
worksheets,  January to December, to represent the above items. The default
values are :-  A for 1 days annual leave, H for a half days annual leave, S
for 1 days sick leave, O for 1 days/hours overtime or 1 for 1 days/hours
overtime. You can change the codes on the Codes W/sheet if you wish.

Report generation is made very easy with print buttons on each worksheet and 
a separate W/sheet  which brings together most of your printing needs.

A Help W/sheet is included which gives a brief outline of how to get started 
and a list of abbreviations, hot-keys etc.

The Workbooks are standard Excel 5.0 files and so may be easily changed to
suit your own companies needs.

The Workbooks will work year after year by simply entering a new year in the
summary sheet.

This feature does not work with the evaluation Workbooks. They will work for 
the year 1997 only. This should give you ample time to evaluate them. If you 
wish to register for the full product then send 7.00 + 2.00 P&P, a total of
9.00, (Nine Pounds) to the above address.

A Rota/Roster version for shift workers is available.
