AI Quick Summary

- Included: configurable leave types and accrual rules, carry-forward, encashment and lapse handling, multi-level approval chains and holiday calendars by location.
- Deployed on your own infrastructure with full source code ownership, so cost does not scale with headcount.

What Leave Management replaces
Most businesses run this on a spreadsheet plus email, or on a product that solves one part and leaves the rest manual. Leave Management runs leave policy, accrual and approvals so balances stop being argued over in email — which means the data lands once and is available everywhere else in the platform.
The practical difference is re-keying. When leave management sits in its own tool, someone re-enters the same information into payroll or reporting at month end, and that step is where errors and delays come from.
How it fits with the rest of Business OS
Business OS is one system with one employee record. Leave Management reads and writes to that record, so attendance affects payroll, leave affects attendance, and reporting sees all of it without an export.
Modules can be deployed individually if you only need one, but the compounding value is in the shared record. We will tell you honestly if a single module is all you need.
Ownership and cost
Business OS is built for you and deployed on your own infrastructure. There is no per-seat licence, so cost does not scale with headcount — which is the main reason companies move off per-user SaaS once they pass a certain size.
You receive the source code and the data. If you stop working with us, the system keeps running and another team can maintain it. That independence is the point of building rather than subscribing.

Frequently asked questions
- Can we use Leave Management on its own?
- Yes. Modules can be deployed individually, though most of the value comes from sharing one employee record across modules — Leave Management data flowing straight into payroll, for example, rather than being re-keyed.
- Is there a per-user licence fee?
- No. Business OS is built for you and deployed on your infrastructure, so cost does not scale with headcount the way per-seat SaaS does.
- Can it integrate with what we already use?
- Yes — biometric devices, accounting systems and banking file formats are the usual integrations. We scope them against your existing stack.
- What is leave management software?
- It is a digital platform that records, tracks, and automates employee leave requests, balances, and accrual policies.
- Can we set up custom leave types?
- Yes. You can configure unlimited leave types (Sick, Casual, Earned, Bereavement, Maternity, Paternity) with unique rules.
- How does leave accrual work?
- The software credits leaves automatically to employee profiles based on your scheduled rules (e.g., 1.5 days credited on the 1st of every month).
- Does it link with payroll?
- Yes. Unapproved absences or unpaid leaves automatically feed into the payroll calculation engine to compute accurate Loss of Pay (LOP).
- Can employees view who else is on leave?
- Yes, a shared team calendar shows department absences so employees can plan vacations responsibly.
