Configure every leave type, set approval chains, import any country's public holiday calendar, and let employees apply from their phone — balances update in real time.
Employees pick a leave type, see their remaining balance inline, choose dates, and submit. Octal HR calculates working days automatically, skipping weekends and holidays. The request routes to the right approver instantly.
HR managers see every leave application across the company — filterable by status, employee, leave type, or date range. Approve or reject directly from the table with one click.
Annual, Sick, Casual, Maternity, Paternity, Religious, Unpaid, and custom types — each with its own entitlement, carry-forward, and encashment rules.
Define approval chains per department or leave type — line manager → HR → Finance. Each approver gets a notification and one-click action.
Pre-loaded with national and regional holidays for your country. Holidays are automatically excluded from working-day calculations and visible in the calendar view.
Set maximum carry-forward days per leave type. Remaining balances roll over automatically at year-end, or lapse based on your policy.
HR gets a full leave-balance report across all employees and leave types — exportable to Excel for payroll deduction and compliance audits.
Approved unpaid leave days feed directly into the payroll run as deductions — no manual data entry between systems.
