Put your people in control with the People Portal app

Aimed at making your people's admin easier, the Breathe - People Portal app puts them in control of their shifts and gives them simple visibility - wherever they are.

View & manage shifts, anywhere

Add unavailability in a flash

Your team can add any unavailability in just a few taps, making planning ahead easier than ever.

Once submitted within the mobile app, any new requests will come straight through to you to approve.

Book leave & log sickness at the touch of a button

Your team can now book holiday & log sickness through the People Portal app, regardless of whether or not you have the Rota, Time & Attendance module activated.
