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.
