Manage all leave types, automate entitlement calculations, set your own approval rules, and give employees an easy way to request time off. AI analysis helps you stay on top of availability, trends, and staffing risks.
Keep on top of holiday allowances, leave entitlements, TOIL, and more – and get up-to-date stats and analytics on your workforce, to see things like who has used up most of their leave, which teams may need to book some, and what upcoming events may impact your calendar.
Go beyond holidays, maternity and bereavement leave, by creating your own types of custom leave – and deciding whether or not it comes out of an entitlement. Birthday leave, duvet days, charity events and jury service are all examples of custom leave created by Sense HR customers!
Specify who should approve each different leave request, whether that's a line manager, a senior colleague, or a company director. Design multi-approver workflows that send the request to more than one person, and even trigger other events within your HR system upon approval or denial.
Whether you’re simply tracking statutory entitlements, or creating your own types of leave with custom rules and multiple approvers, all leave types can be customised, calculated, tracked and managed with Sense HR.
See who is off at a glance, and filter by team, department, location or job type, for quick insights.
Managers can approve requests directly from email, Slack, mobile, or their Sense HR dashboard.
Auto-calculate accruals in line with UK statutory entitlement, or customise company allowances.
Require multiple approvers for leave requests, such as line manager, HR, and office manager.
Stop leave requests coming in for busy days, weeks, or even months. Lock days by team or role.
Set how much entitlement should carry over between years, or run a use-it-or-lose-it policy.
Track hours that need to be credited as time-off-in-lieu, and auto convert hours into entitlements.
Request or approve leave from anywhere, with the Sense HR mobile app with custom permissions.
Support for different statutory rules on a per-country basis, with configurable bank holidays.
Integrate holiday and leave data with external tools, to ensure your different systems are all joined up. Ready-made integrations for systems like Google or Microsoft calendars make syncing easy, or you can build any custom connection you like using Sense Automate.
Analyse holiday and other leave patterns, by asking your HR assistant AMI. AMI can answer questions about things like who is off, which teams have a high outstanding holiday balance, and whether you might have staffing issues coming up – things traditional reports may miss.
Create locked days to stop people booking holidays or other leave types, for example to protect busy days where you know you'll need all hands on deck. You can decide which types of workers locked days apply to, and you can even lock full weeks, seasons or months!
Give your workers an easy way to view their calendars, check their entitlements, see their upcoming leave, check who else is off, and of course, submit holiday requests for approval. The Sense HR mobile app gives each worker features and tools approved by you, that they can access anywhere.
Decide how you want holiday rules to work, and set them company-wide, or per team, job role, or department. For example, you might want employees to request holidays by the hour, or you might want to give different job types different entitlements, or you may have different approval rules.
