If you had been following us closely, you would have realized we have been singing a tune of leave/time off/vacation management for employees, especially remote teams lately.
In previous articles, we have explored why it is crucial to track and manage employees' leaves, along with suggestions for the best leave-tracking tools to use to solve the challenges you experience in leave management.
Not to mention the global public holidays to consider when running an international staff and managing their vacations and leaves.
In doing so, I have mentioned Leaveforce, our leave management tool, several times. In this article, allow me to give you an even more in-depth peek into what this product offers and why it is the standard solution for your team's leave management.
I know what you must be thinking “Does this leave tracker really live up to the recent hype surrounding it?” Well, for starters, Leaveforce tackles all the key issues/challenges surrounding leave management.
1. Using leave management tools that are hard to use or understand/ could be more user-friendly.
2. Not knowing or keeping abreast of the leave balances or accruals of your team members (paid and unpaid leaves)
3. There are no notifications regarding upcoming leaves, holidays, who will be on leave, or when leaves are requested, approved, or declined.
4. Not having flexible time-off policies (jury, parental, etc.) with monthly or daily accruals because it is too hard to track.
5. When managers or teams are not aware of planned leaves.
6. Trying to ensure employees add leaves to their calendars and send out-of-office messages.
7. Not being able to automate out-of-office messages and incorporate leave approval into daily workflows.
8. Being unable to have a division between admin access and regular staff.
9. Unable to assign different holidays to distinct groups of people (different ethnic groups) or individual users.
10. Not having a uniform holiday schedule or being able to create custom holidays.
11. You cannot automatically add holidays to people's calendars with reminders in Microsoft Teams.
Immediately upon using this app you will realize the user experience is incredibly easy to use with just the click of your mouse. In fact, the processes in Leaveforce are so smooth and hassle-free, that managing holidays/time off duties is a breeze.
This all-in-one tool in Microsoft 365/Microsoft Teams takes the stress out of knowing who’s in/out of the office, and when important milestones will occur.
Requesting leaves is quick and easy with just a few clicks and the pending approval process can be done right away from within Teams.
You can boost your organization skills with Leaveforce by managing all employee details in one place and importing new user details from Microsoft 365.
It allows you to create groups and departments for your staff so that setting policies specific to your team is painless. This app gives you free rein to customize settings such as policies.
Instead of manually adding holidays for the countries your team members are from, this product automatically does that heavy lifting for you and allows you to set the guidelines for who can get those days off.
To add icing to the cake, you can create and automate custom workflows for approving, sending notifications and adding time offs to calendars in Outlook.

As previously mentioned, this solution allows you to decide the type of leaves to add to your leave policies and the accruals and balances for each type. You can add as many as you wish based on your policy.
A leave policy defines the number of days each employee has, the kind they are eligible for, and how to apply for them. A policy like this guarantees they will get the necessary time off from work to strike a work/life balance.
For your leave policies, you can decide how soon after a hire is onboarded, they accrue certain days and whether balances from the current year will roll over to the next or not. Also, your policy should detail how many days in advance certain leave requests such as vacations can be requested.
Even though Leaveforce gives you the freedom to tailor your own time-off policies, here are a few common ones you could include:
Once you purchase Leaveforce, it is yours forever, and everyone on your team can use it without paying extra. Leaveforce costs $499, which includes having our team install, set up, and train you on Leaveforce (includes free support but no customization).
If you are a freelancer/managed service provider that wants to use our product for multiple client projects or to resell it, then you may purchase an unlimited resale license for $999.
