Benefits

Built for organisations, not spreadsheets

Give HR, managers, and employees the same live view of leave and payroll — without losing control of who approves what.

Why teams switch

  • One source of truth

    Balances, approvals, and payroll in one tenant.

  • Accountable approvals

    Named owners — not a chat thread.

  • Payroll tied to leave

    LOP from approved unpaid leave, not punches.

Why it works

Leave and pay in one tenant

Each organisation is isolated. You are not sharing a workbook, and you are not buying a full HRIS or statutory filing engine. See features for the product surface.

  • One shared source of truth

    Spreadsheets drift the moment someone copies a tab. Leafwage keeps leave balances, requests, holidays, and — when enabled — payroll in one organisation workspace. HR, managers, and employees see the same live numbers, scoped to their role.

  • Approvals that stay accountable

    Pick Admin only, Manager only, or Manager then Admin. Requests do not stall in a group chat: the right person decides, and the employee sees the outcome. Approvers can mark leave paid or unpaid so allocation and LOP stay honest.

  • Payroll tied to leave

    On Starter and Growth, monthly runs take loss-of-pay from approved unpaid leave in that payable window — not from missing punches. Payable days also pro-rate join and last-working-day dates. Employees print branded payslip PDFs.

Roles

Everyone uses the same workspace differently

  • For HR and org admins

    Configure leave types, yearly allocations, Saturday-off, holidays, departments, people, and branding. Invite managers and employees. Run payroll when the module is on. Admins do not count toward the seat limit.

  • For managers

    Approve team leave when your workflow allows it, see team balances and the calendar, and still apply for your own leave. Payslips appear when payroll is enabled.

  • For employees

    Apply with full, half, or short leave, track remaining days, see who is in today, and download your own slips. You only see your data — not the whole company.

Instead of a tracker

What changes on day one

Swap a shared workbook for one organisation workspace: live balances, named approvers, and — if you use payroll — LOP from unpaid leave.

  • One live record

    Balances, requests, and holidays live in one workspace. Nobody has to ask which spreadsheet is current.

  • Rules when someone applies

    Overlap, Sundays, organisation holidays, and Saturday-off are checked on the request — not after payroll closes.

  • Named approvers

    Route to admin, manager, or both in sequence. Decisions stay with a person, not a forwarded email chain.

  • Today, without a punch clock

    Working, On leave, or Off from approved leave and the holiday calendar. Not check-in, and not attendance hardware.

  • LOP that follows unpaid leave

    If Salary & Payroll is on, loss of pay comes from approved unpaid leave in that payable window — not from missing punches.
