How much time do you spend chasing vacation requests?


Requests, calendar and balances

Vacation, sick leave and other time off in one workflow

Employees submit a request, managers see the calendar before they decide, and balances update when leave is approved. Each person can check remaining days; each reviewer sees the same coverage picture.

01

Digital request and approval

Employees request vacation or other leave from a phone or browser. The manager gets a notification, checks the team calendar, and approves or declines. The request stays next to that person's time records.

02

Team calendar

One calendar shows who is on vacation, who is off sick, and who is working. Use it to spot overlaps, plan cover, and line leave up with the team's shifts. The same view is available on a phone or desktop.

Automatic balance tracking

Used, pending and remaining days are calculated for each person. Vacation, personal days, paid leave and any other category you set keep their own rules, so you are not reconciling formulas in a spreadsheet.

How it works

From request to approval in four steps

Set the leave types your company uses, then let employees request time off and managers decide against the same calendar.

1

Set your leave categories

Define the types your company needs: vacation, personal days, paid leave, sick leave, or a custom category. Set the policy, annual limits, and who approves.

2

Employee submits a request

From the web or a phone, each person selects the dates, chooses the leave category, and submits the request. Remaining days are shown before they send it.

3

Manager approves

The manager is notified, checks the team calendar for conflicts, and approves or declines. The decision, date and reason stay on the request.

4

Calendar updated

Approved leave appears on the shared calendar. Day balances update, and both the employee and the manager get confirmation.

Benefits

Leave that managers can approve with context

Less time chasing emails, fewer overlapping bookings, and a team that can request time off without waiting for a spreadsheet update.

Fewer conflicts

When the team sees the same calendar, people can check who is already off before they request their own days. Managers approve with the overlap in front of them.

Time savings

Fewer back-and-forth emails, fewer calls to confirm dates, and no weekly spreadsheet rebuild. A digital request with a named reviewer keeps the process moving.

Reliable data

Balances update with every approved request. Employees and managers look at the same remaining days, instead of comparing what someone remembers with a separate file.

Employees request leave themselves

People can check remaining days, request time off, and see the status from a phone. In the employee portal each person handles their own vacation without waiting for HR to update a list.


AI integration

Vacation and absence management with AI.

Employees and reviewers can use artificial intelligence for HR in natural language to prepare a request, check pending leave, or change a request when dates shift. The action stays connected to the categories, periods, statuses, and access rules the company already uses.

  • New and corrected requests follow the same review process.
  • Dates, status, and leave type remain visible.
  • Example

    “Request vacation for Laura from August 12 to 16 in the Vacation category and add family trip as the reason.”

  • Example

    “Show Marta's pending absences in September, grouped by vacation, sick leave, and other leave.”

  • Example

    “Change my October 3 request to 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. instead of a full day.”

Frequently asked questions

Questions about vacation and leave

What absence categories can I configure?

As many as you need. TalentoHQ includes vacation, personal days, paid leave, and sick leave to start, and you can add custom categories. Each category can have its own annual limit, approval policy, and calendar color.

Can employees request time off from their phone?

Yes. TalentoHQ works in a mobile browser. People can request vacation, check remaining days, and open the team calendar from a phone, with no app to install.

How does the automatic day counter work?

When a request is approved, the days come off that employee's remaining balance. The counter keeps vacation, sick leave and other categories separate. Both the employee and the manager can check it whenever they need to.

Who can see the absence calendar?

You choose who sees what. By default, each employee sees their immediate team's leave and managers see their direct reports. Administrators can see the whole company. You can also set views by department or workplace.

How does the approval workflow work?

When an employee submits a request, their manager is notified by email and in the app. The manager reviews the calendar, checks for overlapping leave, and approves or declines. You can add extra approval steps when the company needs them.

How much does it cost? Is there a long-term commitment?

All-Inclusive: €2 per user/month annually, or €3 monthly. Time Tracking: €55/year for 5 users. Try it free for 14 days, no credit card. Cancel whenever you want.

Can I request or adjust leave with AI?

Yes. Employees and reviewers can use natural language to prepare a request, check pending leave, or change a request when dates shift. The action stays connected to the categories, periods, statuses, and access rules the company already uses.
