What it does
LeaveMonitor keeps staff leave requests, manager decisions and absence calendars together. Administrators set up leave categories, working days, holidays and individual allowances. Billing follows active users, with a month available to try the service.
A manager opens the pending request after receiving an email notification. Approve or decline it, or add a note and mark it In progress when more information is needed. Reassignment passes the decision to another manager. The employee receives the outcome by email and can revisit it in their request history.
Set each employee's approving-manager relationship first; an administrator can approve only when assigned that role. LeaveMonitor also offers a setup spreadsheet for company policies and employee details.
Cost and account setup
Monthly access costs GBP 1 or EUR 1.15 per active user, with no minimum headcount. Annual payment receives a 5% discount. The 30-day trial does not ask for payment-card details, and setup assistance is included.
Register the company with a name, email, password and leave-year start, then activate the account by email. If your employer already uses LeaveMonitor, ask its administrator for access instead of registering another company.
