Leave management

Approve leave, manage balances, and control when leave can be taken — set up leave types, tune how balances accrue, action requests, and block time off during busy periods.

Leave is more than approving requests — it's the balances behind them, the rules that grow those balances over time, and the busy weeks where you'd rather your team didn't book time off. Shiftly keeps all of it together so the request you approve always reflects an accurate, up-to-date balance.

Set up your leave types and balances first — what leave your team can take, and where each person stands. Control how those balances grow with accrual policies that decide how each type accrues, resets, and carries over, and fine-tune one person's accrual with an entitlement-rate override when their arrangement differs from the default.

Day to day, approve or decline requests — or add leave on a staff member's behalf — and watch the balance update as you go. And when a period is simply too busy for time off, set a restricted leave block to warn staff, or stop the request going through at all.
