Leave management
Leave management that calculates itself.
BukuHR's leave management lets employees apply for full-day, half-day and multi-day leave, calculates the working days against shifts and public holidays, routes the request to a manager for approval and keeps balances and the team calendar up to date.
Why it matters
What leave management gives you.
No manual counting
Working days are calculated from shifts and public holidays, so balances do not drift.
Fewer clashes
Managers approve with the team calendar in front of them, so they can see who else is away.
Answers without asking HR
Employees see their own balances and request status in self-service.
