Executive Summary

The Breathe People Portal is the mobile app for employees who use Breathe HR, available for iOS and Android. Employees can request leave, check what they have booked and how many days they have left, log sickness and submit expenses from their phone. The app also covers rota features such as viewing shifts, receiving rota changes and clocking in and out. Managers still use the desktop version to manage and track their team's leave, and an active Breathe subscription is needed to use the app.
