Leave requests and approvals from the phone
Staff apply in the staff app and see their balances. The right person approves — from the dashboard or their phone — and balances update themselves.
What you get
Balances that accrue automatically
Annual, sick, family and your own leave types, with build-up reminders.
Approval levels and stand-ins
Different rules per department, cluster or branch, a stand-in when the approver is away, and escalation when nobody answers.
Peak periods
Block or limit leave in busy periods — repeating every month or year.
Proof uploads
Medical certificates and other proof attached to the request, with “subject to proof” approvals.
Decline with a reason
Suggest other dates; the employee can re-apply in one tap.
Approve on the phone
Managers get a push notification and approve in the staff app.
