Vacation Request

The typical scenario before vacation time or during beginning of the year: All employees

1. 1) print the vacation form request 
2. 2) fill it out and sign it 
3. 3) Go to the team boss and let him agree and sign 
4. 4) Go to the department boss and let him agree and sign 
5. 5) Go to HR and asgree (as long as so much vacation time is left!) 

Take every employee 15-30 minutes of his work. Multiplied with number of employees and vacation requests you know what time is gone (to be read: lost!) during the year. Hell!

Boring. Automate it with simple web page form, sending to the right boss or bosses and afterwards to HR department. On the market a lot of workflow engines can help you doing the job.

Look here for some specialists that help you implementing it in Microsoft SharePoint.

 Don't waste you lifetime anymore! :)
