What Leave Dates is
Leave Dates manages employee annual leave, other time off and sickness absence. Employees can submit requests and view leave entitlements and balances, while managers review and approve requests. A live shared wall chart displays team availability. Administrators can configure leave types, allowances, departments, approval rules, work schedules, days or hours, and time off in lieu. Approved leave can sync with Google Calendar and Outlook 365. Slack and Zapier integrations are available, with custom connections through API and webhooks. Reports can be viewed online, downloaded to Excel, or sent as email or Slack summaries. Bank holidays can be imported from more than 230 countries. Leave Dates offers Android, iOS, web and API access, plus employee self-service, approval workflows and custom accrual rules. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the maker cites Cyber Essentials Certification. Plans start at £0.75 per user per month billed yearly, with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
