Time · Leave Management

Leave that follows your policy, not a spreadsheet

Define leave types and policies once. Balances accrue, carry forward and expire on their own, requests route to the right approver, and everyone sees an accurate balance.

The problem

What this solves

Balances nobody trusts

Manual tracking leads to disputes at year end.

Policies that differ by group

Head office, factory and field staff follow different rules.

Approvals lost in chat

Managers approve by message and HR re-enters it later.

In practice

Practical use cases

Different rules for different groups

Employee groups drive which policy applies, so one company can run several.

Short absences

Hourly leave and short-hours rules handle a late start or an early departure without a full day off.

Overtime earns time off

Approved overtime can credit compensatory leave when your policy allows it.

Business benefits

Why it matters

Balances that add up

Every movement is in the ledger.

Rules in one place

Policies by group and location, no side agreements.

Faster decisions

Approvers see balance and team calendar before deciding.

Configuration

Set it up your way

  • Create leave types with their own accrual and carry-forward
  • Set expiry and half-day or hourly options per type
  • Build holiday calendars by location
  • Add short-hours rules with warn or block behaviour

FAQs

Leave Management questions

Can managers approve leave?

Yes. Requests route through the approval engine to the manager or whoever your workflow names.

Can different locations have different holidays?

Yes, with holiday calendars by location. Moon-dependent dates can be added as tentative and confirmed later.

Does leave affect payroll?

Unpaid leave and attendance deductions can feed payroll as inputs.
