Leave management system with requests, approvals and balances

On Pro, employees see their balance, and apply for a full day, a half day or a few days in the web app, and you approve or reject each request.

Requests and holidays in date order, each request with its type, days and balance, the first one waiting for approval

01

Approve requests and track each person's leave

Requests wait in Manage Leave until you approve or reject them. Leave Summary shows the leave each employee has taken.

Manage Leave with 3 pending requests, a 3-day casual leave, a half-day vacation leave and a full-day casual leave, each with Approve and Reject

02

Leave types and balances set your way

Set your leave types and each one's balance in Leave Settings, or leave it blank for unlimited leave. Give each type a balance in days that resets every year or every month, and carry unused days into the next period when you choose. Short leaves of a few hours come out of a limit you set.

Add Leave Type with Casual Leave given a total balance of 12 days, reset annually, and its balance card showing 12 days available

03

A year of holidays from one Excel file

Add your office and public holidays in Manage Holiday, or import them from an Excel template.

Manage Holiday for 2026: New Year's Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day as public holidays and the Company Anniversary as an office holiday, with Add Holiday and Import Holiday

04

See who's absent or late without asking

Your team clocks in on the desktop app, and a day with no clock-in turns red on the timesheet. On Pro, get an email when someone clocks in late or has not clocked in by a time you set.

This week's timesheet with each employee's worked, break and idle time per day, and Priya Nair's Tuesday, with no clock-in, on red

05

Timesheets that fill themselves in, beside leave

Each person's timesheet fills in from clock-in to clock-out, less breaks, on a timeline of productive, unproductive and neutral app time and idle time. See the apps and websites they use, and a screenshot of their whole screen every 10 minutes.

Lauren Willis's day: 07h 12m worked from 09:02 AM to 06:04 PM on a timeline of productive and neutral app time and idle time, beside her leave balance with 9 days of casual leave available and 3 booked
