A clearer working day

Keep requests, balances and team cover together.

A leave request in WhatsApp becomes a calendar update, a balance change, a rota check and another record for payroll to reconcile. Leavely keeps the operational evidence together.

Staff requests in one place

Staff use one self-service flow and can see what happened next.

A shared team calendar

Managers see leave, sickness, closures and team cover together.

Visible leave balances

Used, pending and remaining allowance stay visible to the right people.

A record of each decision

Requests, decisions, notes and exports stay attached to the record.

Product walkthrough

See what your managers will actually use.

Switch between the core views. The product is organised around today’s decisions—not a maze of HR modules.

One connected system

From a request to a reliable record.

Leavely is useful because the pieces talk to each other. A manager makes one decision; the rest of the workspace catches up.

01

Staff book leave

Dates, balance and notes

02

Managers approve

Balance and clashes shown on the request

03

Records update

Balance, calendar and audit log

01

Plan the team

Know who is available before work gets awkward.

Leave, bank holidays, company closures and rotas share the same picture, so managers can make decisions with cover in view.

  • Team leave calendar
  • Clash and cover context
  • Rotas and shift publishing
  • Custom working patterns
02

Handle the exceptions

Keep absence follow-up attached to the person.

Sickness episodes, fit-note links, Bradford Factor indicators and return-to-work notes stay in one access-controlled record.

  • Sickness history
  • Return-to-work trail
  • Bradford Factor indicators
  • Manager follow-ups
03

Close the admin loop

Stop rebuilding the same answer in three places.

Approvals update balances, calendars and records together. Reports and exports are ready when payroll or management asks.

  • One approval queue
  • Automatic balances
  • CSV reports and exports
  • Digital audit history

For real-world teams

Useful beyond the office calendar.

Care, hospitality, retail, trades and field teams need more than annual leave. Connect rotas, attendance, TOIL and expenses without buying a separate tool for each job.

Care providersHospitalityRetailConstructionProfessional services

Rotas and shifts

Publish schedules with leave conflicts in view.

QR clock-in

Capture attendance and optional location context.

Expenses

Submit, review and approve staff claims.

TOIL

Track earned and used time off in lieu.

Documents

Keep employee documents with the right record.

Reports

Export leave, sickness and attendance summaries.

Who it is for

People operations for small UK teams.

Leavely focuses on the day-to-day people operations a small business needs to run. If you need an outsourced HR department, payroll bureau or safety consultancy, choose a provider built for that.

Leavely is a strong fit when

  • You manage a UK team without a large HR department.
  • Leave, sickness or rotas currently live in spreadsheets and messages.
  • Managers need simple self-service and visible accountability.
  • You want a headcount-based monthly plan with no setup fee.

Choose a broader service when

  • You want outsourced payroll processing.
  • You need 24/7 employment-law advisers.
  • You are buying a health and safety consultancy.
  • You need an enterprise HRIS rollout across thousands of staff.

Tailored pricing

Standard stays complete. Ultra adds shift cover.

The core toolkit is not carved into add-ons. Request a quote for your team size, or start a 14-day free trial with no card required.

Questions, answered plainly

Know what you are buying before you start.

The practical details small teams usually need before they put employee information into a new system.

What does Leavely replace?

Leavely replaces the spreadsheets, messages and separate trackers used for holiday requests, sickness, rotas, TOIL, expenses, clock-ins and basic staff records. It keeps those daily people workflows connected in one workspace.

Is Leavely a full outsourced HR service?

No. Leavely is software for running day-to-day people operations. It does not include payroll processing, employment-law advice or a health and safety consultancy. That clear scope keeps the product practical and the pricing straightforward.

How much does Leavely cost?

Leavely pricing is tailored to your active team size and plan (Standard for the complete core toolkit, or Ultra when you need manager-approved shift cover). There is no setup fee, eligible schools, charities and NHS teams receive 50% off, and you can request a tailored quote on the pricing page or try it free for 14 days.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free trial starts with a secure email link and no payment details. You decide whether to subscribe after using the product with your own workflow.

Can we import our existing spreadsheet?

Yes. The guided setup includes a CSV import path for employees, and Leavely provides export tools so your records are not trapped in the platform.

Does it support UK leave rules and bank holidays?

Yes. Leavely supports UK working patterns, custom leave years, pro-rata allowances, carry-over and UK bank holidays sourced from GOV.UK.

Your next leave request is a good place to start
