Time off

Leave management, from request to approval

This is the part most time trackers sell you separately. Employees request leave in seconds, managers approve or reject in one click, everyone gets an email, and the whole team sits on a single timeline.

Time off timeline showing team absences by user, colour-coded by holiday, remote work, sick leave and unpaid time off

What's included

Every leave type, one approval workflow

Holiday, sick days, unpaid leave and remote work come as premade time off types, fully editable, with the option to add your own custom types too. Everything lives on the same team-wide timeline, so managers see who's out and why at a glance, without checking a separate spreadsheet or calendar.

  • Timeline view of every team absence
  • Premade time off types, fully editable, plus your own custom types
  • Approval workflow with email notifications
  • Configurable leave balance per user
  • No monthly cap on requests
  • Search the timeline by user or by team

Time off types & admin controls

Configured the way your policy actually works

Leave types and balances are fully editable, and admins decide how approval and visibility work across the organisation, not the other way around.

  • Create your own time off types, each with a name, description and colour
  • Choose per type whether it subtracts from the remaining time off balance
  • Add or reduce any employee's time off balance at any time
  • Set the default time off balance new employees start with
  • Require manager approval for requests, or auto-approve them instead
  • Set time off visibility to public within a team, or private so managers always see their team while everyone else sees only their own

SyncroTask comes with several premade time off types, holiday, sick days, unpaid leave and remote work, all fully editable, plus the option to add your own custom types. Each type includes a full request and approval workflow, configurable balances per user and a country-aware public holiday calendar that flags leave requests automatically if they overlap a holiday.
