Is manual leave management giving your creative teams a headache?

When scaling a creative agency, business owners are often overwhelmed with new HR responsibilities. As you add new employees, manual leave management becomes increasingly complicated:

  • Difficulties with allowance allocation and monitoring?

Trust us, we’ve seen it all.

A great product, and can monitor different types of absence.

It is easy to add different types of absence and approvers/depts. Bank holidays are added as well as weekends and Leave Dates works out the holidays when they start part way though the year.

A very smooth experience.


Simple interface, easy to use and great way of managing leave across the team with visibility of the wider teams absence.
