A clearer working day
The admin is small. The interruption never is.
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.
No more checking three calendars
Managers see leave, sickness, closures and team cover together.
No more mystery balances
Used, pending and remaining allowance stay visible to the right people.
No more rebuilding the audit trail
Requests, decisions, notes and exports stay attached to the record.

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
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.

A deliberately clear fit
Strong software is honest about what it is.
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 value transparent pricing and monthly flexibility.
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.
Straightforward pricing
Standard stays complete. Ultra adds shift cover.
The core toolkit is not carved into add-ons. Choose Standard at £8, or Ultra at £10 when your team needs a manager-approved way to fill shifts.

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 Standard is £8 per active person per month and includes the complete core toolkit. Ultra is £10 and adds manager-approved shift cover. There is no setup fee or long contract, and eligible organisations receive 50% off Standard.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The 14-day 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.
