What it does
Staffology HR manages employee records, absence and self-service for employers. Its packages add documents, manager tools, training and wider people processes, with a separate connection to Staffology Payroll.
For an employee on a standard work pattern, choose Request Leave on the home page, or My Details > Absence > Request. Enter the dates, type and reason, check the named approver and select Send. The request stays pending until a decision arrives by email. A half-day can be added to one end of the request, not both.
Managers find requests under Home > Notifications > Pending Requests > View. Open a request, review it and choose Approve or Decline. The Group Absence Calendar helps check who else is away; its filters can narrow the view by department, location or role.

If you connect Staffology Payroll, resolve overlapping absences before sending them across. The integration takes the first absence entered when dates overlap; correcting the original record allows the appropriate dates to reach payroll.
Strengths
- Employees can submit leave while managers review requests against the team absence calendar.
- The payroll integration transfers supported absence types and their dates.
Watch out for
- The ten-user minimum can exceed a very small employer's headcount.
- Overlapping absence records need correction before the intended dates reach Staffology Payroll.
Best for
- Small and growing employers defining employee-record and absence responsibilities
