Employees in the UK enjoy one of the most generous statutory holiday allowances in the world, a new report  has shown.

The 2009 Worldwide Benefit and Employment Guidelines report , by Mercer, which is based on statutory entitlements for an employee working five days a week with 10 years' service, revealed that employees in Finland, Brazil and France are entitled to the greatest amount of statutory annual leave at 30 days a year, with UK employees following closely behind with 28 days of statutory holiday a year.

However, while clearly beneficial for staff, this generous statutory holiday allowance means more holiday administration and more time-consuming paperwork for UK employers, which is where a leave management system such as LeaveMaster  is invaluable.

By allowing employees and managers to book and authorise their time off using a fast, automated online system, LeaveMaster  eliminates paperwork and substantially reduces the amount of time you need to spend on holiday administration.
