What is a leave management system?

Leave management, or time off management, is the process within an organization that manages employee time-off requests, that would then be approved, or denied, by their managers.

A modern leave management system should be cloud-based, user-friendly, informative and completely automated.

Whilst leave management is often referred to as a holiday tracking system (or holiday tracker), a leave management system (or leave tracking system) should also cater for other employee absence types, such as sickness or compassionate leave.

Will my invoice be calculated pro-rata if I sign up to a 'monthly' subscription in the middle of the month?

Yes, billing is completed on the first day of each month, for the previous month; any new employees added during the previous month are calculated pro-rata. For example if you registered a new employee on the 15th of a month, you would only pay from the 15th to the end of that month.

Will my invoice be calculated pro-rata if I sign up to an 'annual' subscription?

Yes and no! When you sign up to a new annual subscription you will be invoiced for the number of licenses you requested for a whole year; the date that you signed up will then become your subscription anniversary date. For example, if you took out an annual subscription on the 22^nd November 2020, you would then be invoiced again on the 22^nd November 2021.

However, if you were to request additional licenses during the year, these will be calculated pro-rata, and invoiced accordingly, to take you up to your anniversary date.
