The Problem
Rowe & Finch (Liverpool, 12 staff) used a mix of email requests and a paper wall planner. During tax season, approvals took days.
Staff didn't know who was off. TOIL was tracked in a separate notebook. Managing Director James Rowe estimates they lost £2,000/yr in billable time from admin and over-allocated cover.
The Solution
James migrated the team to Leavely in one afternoon. Annual leave, TOIL and sick leave now live in one workspace.
Staff submit requests through the portal and managers approve with one click. The calendar shows the whole firm's absences at a glance.
The Results
Leave request turnaround went from 2-3 days to under an hour. TOIL is tracked automatically without double-entry.
James estimates the admin savings alone cover the subscription cost 4x over. Staff can plan leave around known busy periods.
"The pricing is easy to explain and the setup was quick. We finally have leave, sickness and TOIL in one place instead of across email and WhatsApp."
