How it works

From request to approval, without chasing anyone.

1

Set up your policies

Vacation, sick leave, study days or whatever you use: days per year, paid or unpaid, whether it needs approval, and whether days arrive all at once or month by month.

2

Your team requests days

Each person picks the policy and the dates, and sees how many days they'll have left before sending.

3

Their manager approves

The request goes to their direct manager, who approves or rejects it with a reason. Both get notified in the app.

Holidays & business days

Days are counted the way your company counts them.

Choose business days or calendar days per policy. With business days, weekends, public holidays and company days off are never deducted.

Everyone sees their available days per policy. A balance can never go negative.

With monthly accrual, you decide whether people can request days ahead, up to the year's total.

Carry over or expire

On December 31, unused days roll into next year, with an optional cap, or expire.

Team calendar

Everyone's approved time off, alongside tasks and birthdays, in one view.

Google Calendar

Connect your account and your approved time off shows up on your personal calendar.

History you keep

FAQ

Questions about time off and PTO.

Can I use another country's holiday calendar?

Yes. You pick the calendar by where your team works, which can differ from the company's country, and import it in one click. Then you can mark each non-working day as given off or worked.

Does it count business days or calendar days?

Both. Each policy sets how it counts days. With business days, weekends, public holidays and company days off are never deducted from the balance.

Who approves time off requests?

The person's direct manager. The owner, admins, or anyone with the time-off decision permission can also approve or reject any request. If a policy doesn't need approval, the request is approved instantly.

What happens to unused PTO?

Each policy decides: on December 31, unused days carry over to next year, with an optional cap, or expire. Either way it is recorded.

How many time off policies can I create?

Up to 3 on the Starter plan and unlimited on Growth. The 15-day free trial includes everything.

Does it sync with Google Calendar?

Yes. Once you connect your Google account, your approved time off is added to your personal calendar automatically.
