Leave Manager
Multi-Level Leave Approval, Without the Email Chasing

The Problem
Leave approval is simple in theory and messy in practice.
01
Requests get stuck in someone’s inbox waiting for a response
02
Team Leads have no single view of who’s currently or about to be on leave
03
Multi-level approvals (Team Lead → Management) are tracked manually, if at all
Management has no organization-wide visibility until someone asks for a report
Leave Manager enforces the workflow automatically, so nothing sits waiting on a forgotten email.

Feature Showcase
Access that matches your org chart
01
Three-level access: Management, Team Lead, Employee – Management has organization-wide visibility and access to leave information across the organization – Team Leads see their team’s leave requests and calendar — not the whole organization – Team Leads cannot export reports, keeping that capability at the Management level
Visibility without asking around
02
Team Leads can view their team’s leave calendar – Track which employees are currently or about to be on leave – Employees apply for leave directly through the app
Approval that runs itself
03
Automated multi-level approval workflow: Employee → Team Lead → Management – Email notifications sent to each stakeholder at every stage – Leave is finalized and confirmed once both approval levels are complete
Reporting for the people who need it
04
Management can generate leave reports across the organization – Team Leads get calendar and request visibility without report-export access
05 A better alternative
