A leave software is a computer program that automates the process of managing company vacations.
The advantage of such software is the simplification of administrative and HR procedures.

Leave software - how does it work ?

Tracking leave is an important task in the administrative management of employees.
Very often, the company starts by setting up an excel leave management file, but this can quickly become tedious.

Our SaaS tool offers you leave and absence management software that is simple and intuitive to automate the workflow of leave requests, including the calculation of leave balances.
But the software goes even further to simplify your daily task...

The online leave management tool that we offer gives you the possibility to configure the rules for managing contracts and human resources in connection with your collective agreement to make your life easier, for example:
The counting of paid leave for part-time employees is done by day or half-day to be as close as possible to reality, on part-time rest days
The system memorizes the days implicitly deducted for the count in working days...The case of Saturday counted as a working day, even if it is not not worked.
Taking seniority leave into account, with the aim of automating the days acquired by virtue of seniority, on each anniversary date
Which manager approves such team's time off? Or, which employee is entitled to the Recovery meter ? the leave management software provides you with answers to all your questions automatically.

The main reasons to choose our leave software

Companies customers who use our software are 99% satisfied (see customer reviews)
Our leave management software is completely adaptable and compatible with the labor law rules of most countries, including France.
You can configure the leave management software in a simple and intuitive way.
We support you over the long term in your project to digitize paid leave, particularly in the event of changes to contracts or new hires.
Indeed, companies tend to focus on the technical features of leave software, in their research phase...But this subject requires long-term technical support because labor law can change over time.
Added to this is the advanced configuration of the software to be able to align with future changes in your HR needs...Among the features of the leave and absence management software, we can cite:

º Management of seniority leave
º The taking into account of split days, as well as the management of legal periods of leave.
º Automatic transfer of balances to the Time Savings Account, for unused leave or absences
º Dedicated interface to export monthly leave to an excel sheet that you can download and then import into your payroll software
º Manual modification of holiday counters and balances. For example: Adjustment of days acquired by debit or credit
º Managing the visibility of leave counters, depending on the employee's profile, geographical location, or status
º Leave management for fixed-day or annual follow-up

Management of leave schedules

Depending on the complete leave management software offer or the free leave software STARTER version, the leave schedule offers more or fewer features.
In the starter version, each employee visualizes his individual annual leave schedule. This allows him to control his periods of absence.

This version of the individual leave schedule is very practical, insofar as this schedule offers an overview of the 12 consecutive months.
The other advantage of the free leave software is the possibility for the employee to see in complete autonomy the count of his leave, as well as his balance by acquisition period.

This free starter version for small businesses is much more advantageous than an excel leave calculation file.
You gain in efficiency because the process of leave requests and calculation of balances is automated.
Each employee makes their request from their mobile application or online space, then the HR manager receives a notification by email... They can thus validate the leave request, or reject it by adding a comment. In parallel, the leave balance is updated.
To get a clear idea, you can now try the premium version of the software via the FREE TRIAL button.

The premium version of the leave management software offers simplicity in day-to-day leave tracking.
Employee leave counters and balances are handled by automatic process, without wasting time.
You also have a mobile application available for download from the Google Play or App Store platforms to follow the holidays collaboratively.
With this vacation management software, absence planning becomes seamless as your employees can book their next vacation from home from the mobile phone.

The free version of the leave software, also called Starter, remains very interesting to say the least because it still offers advanced features to easily track your employees' absences.

The objective is to provide access to this type of software to companies who are wondering about the relevance of leave management software, with a free monthly subscription.
This so-called Freemium formula offers basic leave management features, namely: automation of leave requests and email notification, validation by the manager, calculation of balances, and end-of-month payroll export.


Even if it does not include all the features, the freemium tool for managing paid leave remains free with no subscription cost. However, you can automate the leave management process, starting from the submission of the leave form on the employee side, until the validation phase to allow the HR manager to approve the leave request.

Thus, adopting such a tool is much more effective than the excel spreadsheet for calculating leave...or leave requests by paper sheet, even if you rely on a template downloaded from the internet.
The STARTER version of leave software also offers a space for setting complex HR rules, in line with your collective agreement.
The premium version allows you to extend the creation of other specific leaves: split days, seniority, time savings account, etc.

What about free open source leave software compared to the STARTER version ?

Free or open source leave software is generally freely available, then managed by a community of developers to keep the computer code up to date. These developers graciously contribute the source code.
Although free, open source software offers advanced features, which can compete with complete software marketed as a premium package.
However, open source software requires a relatively complex implementation because the user must be autonomous for the start-up and the technical configuration.
Knowing that the management of leave and absences requires taking into account the HR rules of the collective agreement.
Our free subscription version called Starter, although limited in options, still allows rapid deployment and intuitive configuration of leave calculation rules.

Here are the features available in the STARTER offer of the free leave management software :

The essential things to know in the automation of paid holidays & absences
The first reflex in the digitization of leave management is to favor ease of use and ergonomics.
These criteria are indeed important when choosing an HRIS software, but there are other aspects to take into account, in particular the adaptability of the leave management software over time, according to changes in labor law.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of selection criteria to consider when comparing HR software:

Leave management software managing part-time employees who do not work on Wednesdays or part-time contract
Our leave HRIS software allows you to operate on a pro rata basis for part-time employees.
Note that other companies choose to use the conventional rule in which the software credits part-time employees as if they were working full-time...Then the catch-up of the balance is established when taking leave.
A leave management software must offer the calculation of Meal Tickets. Thus, the leave management software retains one (1) ticket per day of absence placed
The online leave and absence management software integrating seniority leave calculation. Example, 1 day credit for the 5th year of seniority in the company.
Leave management tool offering the management of visibility rules according to the role or contract of each user. The tool allows you to hide the RTT counter for half-time or part-time employees
Leaves are managed by annual period, so the leave management software offers the setting of the reference period. Ex: paid leave managed from January to December, or from June N to May N+1, as generally happens in labor law in France. The vacation reference period can be configured and adjusted according to your collective agreement.
You can control the conditions of access to the software or the periods of leave via a dedicated interface of the leave software. For example: You can ensure that the leave request is not accepted if the meter has a debit balance, or you can systematically reject leave requests made outside the defined legal period.
The notion of the leave period is important because it makes it possible to control, in particular the quota of leave to be taken at key periods of the year... Or even better anticipate the days of splitting that the holiday software can appreciate every November 1st.
Online leave management tool, integrating the declaration of days to be recovered. Recovery days are initiated by the employee through a request form offered by the leave software, then the HR Manager may or may not approve them...in which case the employee receives a notification by email
If you want to learn more about how our leave calculation tool works without necessarily downloading the trial version, the panel at the bottom of the site offers an HR toolbox that gives access to the simulator for calculating paid leave or online leave planning, with the possibility of downloading the excel model of the leave planning.
Tracking leave online via the leave simulator can be a 1st step allowing you to put aside your Excel leave calculation spreadsheet, before directing you to a more complete leave software.
