What it does
Sesame HR combines employee records, time tracking, absence, hiring and talent tools. Its leave workflow joins approval roles, remaining allowances, supporting documents and calendars. Paid subscriptions normally cover at least fifteen employees.
Assign leave approvals to team leaders and enable a second validation when needed. Employees choose a leave type and can request half-days if that option is active. Managers see pending and confirmed dates with available and used allowances. Approved absences can flow into Google or Outlook calendars; the shift view also accounts for time off and public holidays. Keep supporting documents with the request.
