Leave and Absence Module Implementation for a UK Hosting Provider

How a UK internet and hosting business improved leave tracking, compliance and employee visibility through a tailored ADP iHCM2 implementation.

A leave and absence module rollout designed to simplify policy administration, support accurate entitlement handling and improve the employee experience.

About The client

Fast Hosts

We were engaged to implement a leave and absence module as part of an HR system upgrade for Fasthosts Internet Limited, a UK-based internet and hosting services provider with 300 employees using ADP iHCM2.

The objective was to automate and streamline leave and absence processes, reduce manual administration and support compliance with UK leave requirements across the organisation.

How It Went

The Challenge

  • The business needed accurate calculation and tracking of statutory and occupational leave entitlements, including annual leave, sick leave and family-related leave.
  • The implementation had to support complex accrual rules across different leave types, including holiday pay, sick pay and maternity or paternity leave.
  • Different employee groups required different leave and absence rules, including full-time, part-time and contract workers.
  • The solution also needed to reduce admin effort without losing control, visibility or policy accuracy.

How We Did it?

Our Solution

We worked closely with the client’s HR team to configure the leave and absence module around their policies, employee structures and operational requirements.

The project focused on careful configuration and testing so leave entitlements could be calculated and tracked accurately within ADP iHCM2.

We also implemented a rule-based approach to support complex accrual logic and help the organisation stay aligned with UK regulations.

To handle workforce variation, we configured the module to support different leave and absence rules for multiple employee groups rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all setup.

Joint Effort

The Collaboration

Close collaboration with the client’s HR team was central to the project. Their input helped shape the configuration, validate policy logic and ensure the system reflected real operational needs.

Testing played a major role throughout the implementation. This helped confirm that entitlements, accruals and employee group rules were working as intended before rollout.

Clear communication with HR stakeholders and employees also supported a smoother transition into the new process.

About This Project

It is the process of configuring and rolling out software that helps an organisation manage annual leave, sickness absence and other time-off policies in a structured and compliant way.
In the UK, organisations often need to manage statutory and occupational leave rules, different entitlement structures and clear auditability. Good configuration helps reduce compliance risk and admin errors.
Yes. A well-configured module can apply different rules to full-time, part-time and contract workers so each group is managed correctly.
Accrual rules define how leave is earned, tracked or adjusted over time. They can be configured to reflect business policy and the relevant type of leave being managed.
Yes. Self-service gives employees visibility of balances and leave information, while helping HR and managers reduce manual queries and improve process transparency.
Businesses should test entitlement calculations, accrual logic, employee group rules, approval paths and reporting outputs to make sure the setup works as intended before rollout.
