The Leave Management module helps you keep on top of employee time off. Tracking leave in one place makes it easier to plan meetings, manage projects, and organise workloads.

What can I use it for?
Here are some of the main things you can do:
Create time off policies
Set up different types of leave, like annual leave, sick leave, or bereavement. Use the default policies or create your own with custom rules. Policies can also be configured to handle special leave scenarios, such as duplicating requests to another policy for reporting purposes.
Request time off online
Employees can book their own time off, or admins can submit requests on their behalf. Employees can also submit holiday requests via the Sage HR mobile app, making it convenient to manage time off on the go.
Approve time off online
Managers and admins can review and approve requests quickly in one place. Once approved, the requested days are automatically deducted from the employee's entitlement, streamlining the leave management process.
Use a shared calendar
View public holidays and see when others are off, if you choose to make that visible.
Run reports
Check who has taken time off, how much leave people have used, and who still has days left. Additionally, Sage HR supports compliance by tracking pay for annual leave in line with company policies, ensuring accurate record-keeping.
Book holidays in advance
Employees can book holidays for the next year in advance. While the new-year balances will not be visible until the holiday year begins, bookings can still be entered ahead of time, allowing for better planning.
