HR automation
Leave Request Approval
Lets employees request leave through the HR portal, WhatsApp or Slack, checks balance and policy, routes it to the manager for one-click approval and updates HR, payroll and calendars.
The business problem
Leave requests by email or paper get lost, approvals are slow and balances are often wrong. Payroll mismatches and team scheduling conflicts follow. Employees cannot see the status of their requests.
The manual process today
Where the time goes before automation:
- Fill in a paper or email leave form
- Manager approves by replying to email
- HR updates the leave balance spreadsheet
- Payroll adjusts deductions manually
