Challenge	Code Engine Studio, a software development firm based in Vietnam, was facing significant challenges in managing time off requests and calculating payroll for its rapidly growing team. The company was using spreadsheets and emails to track and respond to time off requests, which was becoming increasingly difficult as the company grew. The process was time-consuming, with the company spending up to 8 hours each month collating and finalizing time off and payroll data. The system was also prone to errors, with leave requests often being missed or not addressed on time. This led to difficulties in calculating payroll each month, as the HR team had to double-check various spreadsheets, emails, and chat messages to ensure accurate data. The company needed a simple, efficient platform through which employees could submit their time off requests and managers could approve or reject these requests in a timely manner. Read More

Solution	Code Engine Studio chose to implement Freshteam, a comprehensive HR suite that includes modules for recruitment and time-off management. The introduction of Freshteam significantly enhanced the efficiency of the company's leave management and payroll accounting processes. Managers now had a single place to approve leave requests, with some using the app and email notifications to ensure they saw all employee requests. Freshteam's HR suite offered a range of features that were particularly beneficial for Code Engine Studio. The holiday calendar feature, which includes the in-built holiday calendar of 18 countries, allowed the company to set up workweeks and vacation days based on their region and requirements. The tenure-based leave policy feature made it easy to set up, monitor, and roll over leaves for employees who had served more than five years in the company, in line with Vietnamese government policy. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the company was able to automate the approval process for work-from-home requests, saving further time and effort. Read More Log in to view content
