What you get

Any leave policy

Create as many leave types as you need — casual, sick, earned, comp-off, maternity — each with its own accrual and eligibility rules.

Carry-forward and encashment

Year-end carry-forward limits and encashment are calculated for you, and encashments flow into payroll.

One-tap approvals

Managers get requests on mobile and approve or reject in seconds, with multi-level approval where you need it.

Holiday calendars

Maintain different holiday lists for different states or offices, so every employee sees the right calendar.

Live balances

Employees always see their current balance, so HR stops answering "how many leaves do I have left?"

Payroll sync

Approved leave and loss of pay feed straight into payroll at month end.

Frequently asked questions

What is a leave management system?

It is software that replaces leave registers, emails and spreadsheets. Employees request leave online, managers approve it, and the system applies your policy and tracks balances automatically.

Can we have different holiday lists for different offices?

Yes. DigiHR supports multiple holiday calendars, which is useful when you have offices or sites in different states.

Does leave connect to attendance?

Yes. Approved leave appears on the attendance record, so an employee on leave is never marked absent.

Can leave be approved on mobile?

Yes. Managers receive requests in the DigiHR app and can approve or reject them with one tap.
