Leave Management Software Australia
Let staff request leave from their phone, review and approve in one click, and see who's away at a glance on the leave calendar.
Managing leave requests
Follow these steps to handle staff leave from request to approval and keep your calendar up to date.
Staff submits a leave request
Team members open the Leave section from their portal or mobile app and tap 'Request leave'. They select the leave type, pick start and end dates, and add an optional note. The request is submitted instantly to their manager.
Manager reviews pending requests
As a manager, you'll see a notification badge on the Leave tab when new requests come in. Open the Pending Requests list to see who's asking for time off, the dates, the type, and any notes they've added.
Approve or reject with a notification
For each pending request, you can approve or reject with one click. Optionally add a reply note. The staff member is notified immediately by email and the leave appears (or is removed from) the calendar.
View the leave calendar
The leave calendar gives you a birds-eye view of who's away and when. See all approved leave across your team in a monthly or weekly view. This helps you plan rosters and spot any staffing gaps ahead of time.
Track leave history per person
Shiftbreeze keeps every request in one place. See each staff member's approved, pending, and past leave by type, with total days taken — updated the moment a request is approved.
