Leave Policies

Create unlimited leave types with custom allowances, accrual rules, and carry-over settings. Every company is different — your leave policies should be too.

From simple vacation tracking to complex multi-country compliance, Leavo adapts to your rules instead of forcing you into a template.

The Problem

One-size-fits-all doesn't work

Rigid policy templates

Most tools force you into predefined leave types. Custom arrangements like study leave or volunteer days don't fit.

Manual accrual tracking

Calculating monthly accruals, pro-rata for new joiners, and carry-over caps in spreadsheets is error-prone and time-consuming.

Compliance risk

Incorrect carry-over calculations or missing entitlements can lead to legal issues and employee disputes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create custom leave types?

Yes. You can create unlimited leave types with custom names, colors, and rules. Examples: study leave, volunteer days, sabbatical.

How does accrual work?

You choose the accrual schedule (monthly, quarterly, or annual) and Leavo automatically credits the balance. Pro-rata is calculated for mid-year joiners.

What happens to unused leave at year-end?

Based on your carry-over settings, unused leave is either transferred to the next year (with optional caps) or forfeited. This runs automatically.

Can different teams have different policies?

Yes. Policies can be assigned per employee, per team, or company-wide. You can have different rules for different departments or locations.
