Flexible Leave Approval Workflows
Route leave the way your business works — a single line-manager approval, or a multi-level approval matrix for teams that need more than one sign-off. Optional reminders and auto-approval keep requests moving.
- Line Manager routing for simple, single-approval teams.
- Multi-level Approval Matrix — configurable approval chains, with fallback to the reporting manager.
- Approval reminder emails re-prompt the current approver on a set cadence (skips weekends/holidays).
- Auto-approve long-pending requests beyond a day threshold (requests needing a document are never auto-approved).
Leave Accrues Automatically, Every Month
Choose the accrual model that fits how you run payroll — both are pro-rata and run on their own.
- Attendance-driven (default): accrual calculates leave based on committed attendance and actual days worked — aligned with common GCC leave accrual practices.
- Calendar-driven: a monthly run accrues a flat 1/12 of annual entitlement per employee, independent of payroll state — ideal for SMEs with irregular payroll timing.
- Pro-rata aware, honouring joining and leaving dates.
