Approve Leave. See Availability. Never Double-Book.
Employees request leave in one click. Managers approve instantly. A live team calendar shows exactly who's out — so project deadlines never collide with someone's vacation.
Five features that replace spreadsheets and email chains for good.
One-Click Requests
Employees pick their dates, choose a leave type and submit — no forms, no printing, no chasing a manager over Slack for a signature.
Instant Manager Approval
Managers see every request in a single queue and approve or reject in one click, with an optional note. No email threads to track.
Replaces BambooHR approvals
Live Team Availability Calendar
See exactly who's out on any given day across the whole team — before you assign a task or set a client deadline.
Custom Leave Policies
Set annual, sick and casual leave allowances per department or role. Balances update automatically as leave is taken and accrued.
Linked to Project Scheduling
Approved leave automatically flags a team member's tasks in the project workload view — so nobody gets assigned deadlines while they're away.

FAQ
Common questions
Still have questions?
Our team replies in under 5 minutes during business hours.
Yes. Leave requests, approvals and the team calendar are included on every plan. Paid plans (from $100/year) unlock custom department policies and automated task-workload flagging.
Can I set different leave policies per department?
Yes. Define annual, sick and casual leave allowances per department or role. Balances update automatically as leave is requested, approved and accrued over time.
Does approved leave affect project scheduling?
Yes. The moment leave is approved, that team member's tasks are flagged in the project workload view, and their manager is alerted before any new deadline gets assigned during their time off.
Can freelancers use leave management too?
Freelancers can mark unavailable dates so clients and project managers see their availability on the same team calendar, without needing formal leave balances or HR policies applied to them.
How is this different from BambooHR?
BambooHR handles leave as a standalone HR function. Top-SEOs connects approved leave directly to your project and task management, so scheduling conflicts are caught automatically instead of discovered after the fact.
