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.

How it works
A leave request

- 3DecideApprove or return with a comment.
- 4LedgerThe balance ledger records the movement.
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

FAQs
Leave Management questions
Can managers approve leave?

Does leave affect payroll?
Unpaid leave and attendance deductions can feed payroll as inputs.
