We present the most important functions and benefits of using the Time Off module, which allows for efficient management of leave and absences. Thanks to flexible rules and integrations, the module streamlines the process and saves time for both the HR team and employees.
β
π Submitting Leave Requests through Different Channels
Employees can easily submit leave requests and report remote work without having to log into a separate system. They can do this via the mobile app, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or a web browser. This makes the leave process simple and quick, minimizing the number of inquiries and saving time for the entire organization.
β
β Flexibility in Approving Requests
Thanks to the ability to set multi-step approval workflows, the system is fully adapted to the processes in your company. Additionally, leave rules, such as minimum leave duration or advance submission requirements, automatically ensure compliance with company policies, reducing the risk of errors. Managers have full control over the process, and employees can submit requests according to the established rules.
β
βοΈ Automatic Leave Calculation and Carrying Over Days
The system automatically calculates leave days and reminds employees of unused days. This means HR doesn't need to spend time manually calculating leave balances, and employees always know their current leave balance. Additionally, unused days can be automatically carried over to the next year, minimizing the risk of losing them.
π Clear Absence Calendar
The integrated calendar provides full visibility of employee availability, allowing for quick detection of conflicts or overlapping requests. This makes managing work schedules easier, and managers can effectively plan staffing to avoid situations where employees are unavailable at critical times.
π Advanced Reporting and Data Export
The module allows creating detailed reports on leave balances, submitted requests, past requests, and other relevant data, which can be easily exported to an Excel file. This facilitates further data analysis, saves time, and helps in making decisions based on accurate information.
β
π Global Absence Management
Calamari supports international companies, enabling the management of leave across multiple countries and languages. The system automatically adjusts the calendar to local holidays, ensuring compliance with regional regulations, and standardizing absence management worldwide.

β
π Handling Public Holidays in Different Countries
Calamari allows you to create separate public holiday calendars for different countries. With the integration of Google Calendar, you can easily import holidays for a selected year and country. Each employee is assigned the appropriate calendar, ensuring that local holidays are automatically considered when calculating leave balances.
β
π Flexible Leave Limit Calculation Rules
Calamari offers flexible leave limit calculation rules that can be tailored to different employees, teams, contracts, or even gender. This allows you to create multiple variations of leave policies, such as different limits for employees on different contract types (part-time, full-time, contractors, freelancers). The rules can also consider factors like work tenure, probation periods, and other criteria such as the length of employment in the company. This enables precise tailoring of leave policies to the company's specifics, ensuring each employee has access to the appropriate leave limits.
β
π¨π© Managing User Roles
Calamari allows assigning different roles to users, such as employee, direct manager, team manager, company manager and administrator. Each role comes with specific permissions, allowing precise control over access to system features. This ensures the organization has full control over who can access and use Calamari's functions and view shared information.
β
βοΈ Restrictions in Submitting Leave Requests
Calamari allows you to set the following restrictions: absence length (maximum and minimum number of days), submission timing (requiring submission a specific number of days in advance), retroactive requests (allowing requests to be submitted up to X days in the past), employment status (allowing requests to be submitted only after X days from the hire date), maximum number of days in a week (limiting the number of days off in a week), blocking or warning (allowing requests to be blocked or displaying a warning for violation), and dependencies between absence types (requiring full use of X absence type before submitting Y absence type, e.g., vacation leave before requesting emergency leave).

We deeply value your feedback and suggestions. They are essential in driving the continuous development of Calamari, with new features being added regularly to enhance the experience.
