Delegate team leaders to approve their team's time-off

The employees need to know how much available PTO they have, and managers need information about their team.

These processes require time and result in delays, poor decision-making, or vacation policies that are not respected.

Spend less time on admin tasks and focus on delivering value to the business.

  • org structure, and
  • headcount.

The best employee experience
