Time off, booked without the email chain

Your team picks a kind of leave and two dates, at a desk or on a phone. They can see what it costs them and what it leaves them before they send it, so what reaches you is a request you can simply say yes to.

Booking time off in Shoreleave: the kind of leave, the dates and a note down the left, and on the right the number of days it costs, what that leaves, and the colleagues already away on those days.

The end of "how many days do I have left?": Everybody can see their own balance whenever they want, so nobody has to come and ask you for it.
The counting is done for them: Weekends, public holidays and the days somebody does not work are left out, and each one is named on the request so nobody thinks the total is wrong.
Half days without the arithmetic: A morning or an afternoon at either end of a trip, and every balance keeps up by itself.
They can see who else is off first: Whoever is already booked on those days is on the screen while they choose, so most clashes never reach you at all.
Sickness logged in ten seconds: Record it the morning somebody calls in, with no end date to guess at. Close it off when they are back and the days count themselves.
Hours, if that is how you count: Book leave in whole hours instead of days, with each person's working day set to its own length.

Approve a week of requests in a couple of minutes

Everything waiting on you is in one list, the longest wait first, with the dates, the days and what saying yes would leave that person. Nothing to look up, and nothing going stale at the bottom of your inbox.

Everything you need is on the request: The dates, the days, what it leaves them and whatever they wrote. You are never deciding half blind.
Answer wherever you are: At your desk, on your phone, or from a message in Slack or Teams. Every email about a request has a button that opens it.
Cover for each other: Give a team as many approvers as you like. Nobody approves their own time off, and anything nobody picks up comes to you.
Sickness never slips past you: An absence nobody had to approve still waits on your list until one of you has seen it.
Plans change: Your people can cancel before it starts, and you can take back leave already booked. The days go straight back to the year they came from.
The right people get told: Asked, approved, declined, cancelled. Everybody who needs to know gets an email, and nobody gets one about something they just did themselves.

The requests waiting for an answer in Shoreleave, shown as cards: each with the person, when they asked, the dates, their note, what it costs, what it would leave them, and a Decline and an Approve button.

Know who is off next week without asking anybody

A row for each person and five weeks across the top. Narrow it to one team, step through the months, and plan the work around what you can see instead of around what you can remember.

Plan cover at a glance: One team or the whole company, with the weekends, the public holidays and the days you are closed already shaded in behind.
Part-timers come out right: Somebody who never works Wednesdays is not shown as away on one, and their allowance is not charged for it.
The detail behind every day: Who it is, what the day is called, which country's holiday it is, and the dates they asked for.
Fewer interruptions for you: Everybody in the company can open it, so "is Sofia in on Thursday?" is not a message anybody has to send.

The Shoreleave chart on a tablet: people grouped by team down the side, five weeks of days across the top, coral bars on the days each person is away, and a pale column on the day the whole company is closed.

Everybody can see who is away. You decide whether they also see what kind of leave it is, and whether a request nobody has answered yet shows on the chart.

Put it on the screen in the corridor

The same chart on a television, at whatever size the screen is. It refreshes itself all day and moves on to the new week overnight, so there is nothing to touch from one month to the next.

The Shoreleave chart on a television: the whole company over five weeks, grouped by team, with the colour key along the bottom and the time it last refreshed.

Nobody has to run it: No buttons and no menus, and nothing to set up again on Monday morning.
Safe to leave on a wall: It shows exactly what your chart shows everybody else. Lock it and that screen stops being signed in, so nobody walking past can use your account.
It answers the question before it is asked: Who is in today, who is back tomorrow, and which weeks the team has already picked.

Never work out an allowance by hand again

Joiners, leavers, part-timers, half days, carry-over and the days you were closed. Every balance is right the moment anybody looks at it, and everybody can see their own, which is the end of the December spreadsheet.

Pro rata without the calculator: Somebody who starts in March gets their share of the year, to the nearest half day, and it is right again the moment you change their allowance.
Carry-over on your terms: Move nothing, a few days or everything into the next year, with a date to use it by. You see every person's figures before you run it, and you can change a line.
Lieu days, bought days and corrections: Put days on or take them off one year, with a note on each that the person can read.
Reward service and attendance: Extra days for years worked, or for a year with little sickness. Set the numbers once and they are handed out for you.
Leave that builds up through the year: Turn it on where your people earn their days a little every day instead of getting the whole year in January.
A leave year that starts when yours does: Start it in January, April or whatever month you use. A holiday that runs across the turn is split between the two years for you.
Nobody is caught out in December: Everybody can see what they have left and by when, all year round.

One person's leave in Shoreleave: their allowance, the days the company was closed, what they have taken and booked and what is left, with the year's leave listed underneath.

Holiday, sickness, and whatever else you call a day off

Annual leave, sickness, unpaid and parental are there on the first day. Rename them to the words your handbook uses, and add the ones your line of work has.

Choosing the kind of leave in Shoreleave: Annual, Sickness, Unpaid, Parental and Other, each one a button with its own icon.

Your company's own words: Call it what your company calls it, and that is what everybody sees and books.
You decide what counts: Whether it comes out of the yearly allowance, has an allowance of its own like three volunteering days, or comes out of nothing. Whether it needs approving, and who can book it.
Easy to read at a glance: Each kind has its own icon and its own color, so a busy chart still tells you what you are looking at.
Your history stays intact: Stop using a kind of leave and last year's records still say exactly what they said. Bring it back whenever you like.

Set up this afternoon, not this quarter

Tell it your company, where you are, whether you count in days or hours, when your leave year starts and what a new starter gets. Your public holidays are on the chart before you have finished your coffee, and everything else already has a sensible answer in it.

Public holidays you never type in: Your country's days, for your region where that matters, on everybody's chart and in everybody's balance.
Your own closures too: The days you shut between Christmas and New Year, added once and counted for everybody.
Everybody's working week: Five days, four days, or whatever somebody actually works. Every count in the product follows it.
A few questions, then a short list: Answer what it needs to count a day off and you are in. What is left is a list of next steps that ticks itself off as you go.

The company settings in Shoreleave: the name, the language and the time zone on one side, the countries people work in on the other, and the leave policy starting underneath.

Your whole team in, in one go

Bring in the spreadsheet you already keep, or add people one at a time. They set their own password from the invitation, so you are never holding anybody's.

The staff list in Shoreleave: each person with their team, their allowance, what they have left, the day they started and what they are allowed to do.

Import the spreadsheet you already have: Names, email addresses, start dates and teams. It is the four columns you are already keeping.
Teams, and who answers for them: Put people in teams and name the managers who approve for each one.
Everybody sees what they should: Owners and admins see the company, managers see their own team, and everybody sees their own leave and the chart.
Somebody on a different deal: Give one person their own allowance and leave everybody else on the company's.
When somebody leaves: Archive them. They are off your bill from the next month, and their records stay on your reports.

The numbers payroll keeps asking you for

Three reports over whatever dates you choose, each one a spreadsheet at the press of a button.

What everybody has left: Allowance, carried days, booked, taken and left, for any leave year, and each kind of leave that has its own allowance.
Absence for payroll: Days by person and by kind of leave between two dates. Send it on as it is.
Sickness that tells you something: Days off sick and how many separate spells, per person, over any period you pick.
Leavers are counted too: Anybody who was with you during the period is on the report.
Numbers you can stand behind: The file is the report on your screen, to the half day. There is no second version to reconcile.

The balances report in Shoreleave: a row for each person with their allowance, adjustments, the days the company was closed, what they have booked and taken, and what is left.

It fits the sign-in, chat and calendar you already have

Sign in with the accounts you already manage, answer requests in the chat app your team already has open, and see who is off in the calendar you already live in.

Have it post who is off today into a channel every weekday morning, or leave that switched off. Either way, what goes into a channel says who is away and never why.

The integrations page in Shoreleave: a card for Slack and a card for Microsoft Teams, each saying what connecting does, with the button that connects it.

Google Everybody signs in with their Google Workspace account. Close that account and they are out of here too.
Microsoft Everybody signs in with their Microsoft 365 work or school account, so nobody gets in on a personal address.
Slack Approve or decline from a message, ask who is off without leaving the app, and show Away on your own account while you are out.
Microsoft Teams A card you can answer a request from, a bot that says who is off, and Away beside somebody's name while they are away.
Your calendar Subscribe once and your team's time off turns up in Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, your closures with it.

People in more than one country

German public holidays for Berlin and Dutch ones for Amsterdam, every person counted on their own country's days, and the whole product in the language each of them reads.

What a booking costs, in Dutch: three days, why the weekend is free, and what is left of the year. — Nederlands

A holiday calendar for each country: Add one for every country you employ people in, down to the region where that matters, and the right days count for the right people.
See when another office is shut: You can see that Berlin is shut on a day you are open, without anybody having to tell you.
Seven languages, nothing to set up: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish. Each person picks their own, and their screens, emails and chat messages follow it.
Your words stay your words: A team you name and a kind of leave you name read the same in every one of them.

Your people's details stay in Europe

Shoreleave runs in Amsterdam, and everything you put in it is kept inside the European Union. It is built for the GDPR from the ground up, with no tracking and no advertising anywhere in it.

Made for the GDPR: Your company decides what is recorded and why, and we only process it on your behalf. Every report saves as a spreadsheet whenever you want your data out.

No tracking, no cookies: No tracking pixels, no advertising and no third-party scripts, on this site or in the app.
Sickness stays need-to-know: Health is sensitive data, so you choose whether colleagues see why somebody is off or only that they are away.
Never sold: Your data is used to run your account and for nothing else. It is never sold and never used to advertise to anybody.
