Leafwage

Guides for HR and operations

Short, practical articles on how leave and simple payroll actually work in small Indian organisations — not a feature dump. Each guide is written from how Leafwage is built: yearly allocations, named approvers, LOP from approved unpaid leave, and when to leave Excel.

• Leave management software for Indian organisations

  What Indian HR teams should look for in leave management software — approvals, yearly balances, holidays, and a clean unpaid-leave trail that payroll can use.

• How to calculate LOP from unpaid leave

  A practical way to calculate loss of pay from approved unpaid leave — payable window, working days, and what should not count as LOP.

• Leave approval workflows for small teams

  How to choose a leave approval path — admin only, manager only, or manager then admin — so requests do not stall and unpaid leave stays auditable.

• Spreadsheet leave tracker vs dedicated leave software

  When a shared spreadsheet is enough for leave, and when Indian teams should move to dedicated leave software for approvals, balances, and LOP.

• Replace Excel payroll for small Indian businesses

  When Excel payroll templates stop being honest for small Indian teams — missed unpaid leave, LOP fights, no payslip trail — and what simple payroll software should replace.
