Give employees a clear request process and managers the context to approve leave.
Our clients
Employees see the leave types they are entitled to and their balances in self-service. Remaining excludes Booked future leave, so both figures matter when planning a request.
Review the requestor, duration, reason, balance, team coverage and qualified substitutes before approving or declining the request.
Where scheduling is enabled, approved full-day leave creates a vacancy. Partial-day leave adjusts the schedule. A manager still assigns any replacement needed.
Set leave types, accruals, entitlements and carryover for the employee groups your organization uses. Policy settings drive the calculation; your team validates eligibility, employment requirements and changes rather than assuming the rules maintain themselves.
Self-service shows the leave types an employee is entitled to and the corresponding balances. Remaining reflects processed activity and excludes Booked future leave.
Employees submit a request and Workzoom routes it to the manager for approval.
The manager can review the requestor, duration, reason, balance, team coverage and qualified substitutes before deciding. That context supports a deliberate approval rather than checking a balance in isolation.
Approved leave connects to payroll-linked activity. Paid or unpaid treatment depends on the policy, employee setup and processing stage; approval is not an immediate salary deduction.
Review late or retroactive approvals with the payroll administrator, and check balances after processing is complete.
Where scheduling is enabled, approved full-day leave removes scheduled start and end times and creates a vacancy. Partial-day leave adjusts the schedule without removing the full scheduled task.
A manager reviews qualified workers and assigns the replacement.
Every requirement below is handled by the platform on every pay run, not configured per-customer.
Every employer must give an employee a vacation of at least two weeks on completion of each twelve months of employment. Vacation pay rises with tenure: one week's basic pay for an employee employed six months or more but under one year, two weeks' basic pay for one year or more but under seven years, and three weeks' basic pay for seven years or more.
Section 11 provides paid sick leave after qualifying service, subject to its conditions. A medical certificate can make the first day payable, including a one-day absence. Confirm eligibility, certification and any more favourable employment terms before configuring the policy.
A female employee who has been employed for at least twelve months and delivers a medical certificate is entitled to maternity leave of not less than twelve weeks, arranged as not less than one week before the expected date of confinement and not less than eight weeks after. During that leave, once in every three years, the employer must pay a minimum sum equal to thirty three and one third percent of the portion of wages that does not exceed the National Insurance ceiling on insurable wage.

The story
The story
A manager can see a remaining balance and still overlook leave already approved for a future date. Workzoom shows Booked separately from Remaining, so both figures belong in the approval decision.
For a synthetic evaluation, give a sample employee a processed balance and an approved future booking. Submit another request and inspect both values in the employee and manager views before approving it. This is a proposed demonstration, not a customer outcome.
The story
Where scheduling is enabled, approved full-day leave creates a vacancy. Partial-day leave adjusts the schedule without removing the entire scheduled task. A manager still reviews and assigns any replacement needed.
Follow the request into scheduling and then inspect the payroll-linked activity. Paid or unpaid treatment depends on policy and processing timing; a completed approval does not prove payroll has closed or the balance has been finalized.
The story
Workzoom supports configurable leave types, accruals and employee-group entitlements. Your team confirms the applicable Employment Act requirements and any more favourable terms before validating the configuration.
Test the policies relevant to your workforce, including approval responsibilities, future bookings and a late correction. Confirm how the balance and payroll result change at each processing stage.
