Leave & time off

Time off that approves itself cleanly

Define your own leave types, balances and holiday calendars, then let employees request and managers approve in a couple of clicks. Balances update the moment a request is decided.

Your policies, not a fixed template

Country-agnostic types, quotas and approvals you control.

Custom leave types
Create the types your organization uses, each with its own quota and rules.
Live balances
Entitled, carried, used and pending are tracked so balances are always right.
Working-day maths
Requests exclude weekends and your holidays automatically, with half-day support.
Approvals queue
Managers approve or decline from one queue — and can't approve their own.
Team calendar
See who is off when, so cover is never a surprise.
Holiday calendars
Maintain holidays per organization and they flow into every calculation.

How it works

1
Set up types & holidays
Define leave types, quotas and your calendar once.
2
Employees request
Staff submit from self-service in seconds.
3
Managers approve
One queue, balances update on decision.

In detail

Balances
Each balance is entitled plus carried plus adjustments, minus used and pending — submitting holds the days as pending, approving converts them to used, declining or cancelling releases them.
Working days
The day count excludes weekends and the organization's holidays, and supports half-days, so a request always reflects real time off.
Approvals
Requests route to an approver who cannot approve their own; types you mark no-approval are auto-approved on submit.
Visibility
A team month calendar and register show all requests, while employees see only their own balances and history.

Common questions

Can we use our own leave types?+
Yes. Leave is country-agnostic — you define the types, quotas, carry-forward and holiday calendars that fit your organization, with no fixed statutory engine.
How are balances kept accurate?+
A request holds days as pending on submit; approval converts them to used and a decline or cancellation releases them, so the balance always reflects reality.
Can a manager approve their own leave?+
No. The approvals queue prevents self-approval, and types you choose can be set to auto-approve on submit.
