Leave and absences

Leave requests that already know the balance

Your staff ask for time off in the app. Before you approve, you see what it takes from their balance and who else is away those days. Approved leave then shows on the rota.

The employee sees what a request costs before sending it

Averty counts working days only and leaves out public holidays, so nobody has to do the maths.

  • Days, half days or hours

    Each leave type is counted in days or in hours, with half days when you need them.

  • Notified both ways

    Managers are told about each new request, and the employee hears back as soon as it is approved or refused.

  • Added by a manager

    A manager can also add leave for someone. It is approved straight away and the person is notified.

Each leave type follows your rules, not a fixed law

Start from your country’s template and change what you need. Every type has its own settings.

  • Counted in days or hours

    Choose the unit once: requests and balances follow it.

  • Earned monthly, yearly or by hand

    Monthly accrual adds a twelfth of the yearly amount, in proportion for part-time contracts.

  • Carry-over with limits

    Lose what is left, carry it all, or carry up to a limit that expires after the months you choose.

  • With or without a balance

    Sick or unpaid leave can be recorded without using up a balance.

Every change to a balance is written down

Opening balance, monthly accrual, carry-over, adjustments with a reason, leave taken: the history is never rewritten. To fix a mistake, you add another line.

Ask a question

Can a balance go below zero?

Only if you allow it for that leave type. Otherwise a request beyond the balance can be sent, but not approved.

Are public holidays counted?

No. Public holidays and days the person does not work are left out of what a request takes.

How do I start with existing balances?

Enter each person’s opening balance, for example from their last payslip. Automatic accrual adds what is earned after that date.
