Why Leavely
Built for small teams that want a practical way to replace spreadsheet leave admin, see cover before approving time off and evaluate the full workflow before committing.
Staff submit leave requests in Leavely, managers see the approval context, and comments stay attached to the request instead of disappearing into email or chat.
Set staff allowances, working patterns and bank holidays in one workspace so managers can check cover before approving time off.
Use the 14-day trial to add staff, test a leave request, review balances and compare Leavely against your current process.
Beta user feedback
Anonymous beta feedback focuses on the practical workflow: requests, cover checks, balances and manager approvals.
We could see leave balances, cover clashes and approval history in one place instead of checking three spreadsheets.
