Leave & Attendance Management
Automated leave tracking, zero confusion.
The Problem
- • Leave requests arrive via email, Slack, and verbal conversations. HR teams spend hours tracking down what was actually approved.
- • Policy violations go unnoticed — employees accidentally exceed PTO balances or request during blackout periods without anyone catching it.
- • Calendar updates are manual. Team leads don't have real-time visibility into who's out, causing scheduling conflicts.
- • Payroll notifications for unpaid leave are missed. Employees discover incorrect paychecks weeks after the fact.
