More than an employee holiday tracker.

Awayly brings together the parts of staff holiday and absence management that often end up spread across spreadsheets, emails, shared calendars and messages.

Employees can request leave, managers can review it with useful context and company admins can configure the rules that control allowances, working patterns and time-off types.

01 Employee holiday requests

Give employees a proper online holiday request system.

Employees can submit annual leave requests with dates, half-days and notes, then see where each request stands without chasing a manager for updates.

  • Annual leave requests
  • Half-day bookings where enabled
  • Request notes
  • Pending, approved and declined status
  • Own holiday balance and history

02 Approvals & clash warnings

Help managers make faster leave decisions with better context.

Pending requests appear in one place with the employee, dates, notes, allowance impact and potential clashes visible before the manager approves or declines.

  • Pending approval queue
  • Potential holiday clash warnings
  • Approval and decline notes
  • Cancellation requests
  • Clear decision history

03 Team absence calendar

See who is away without checking multiple calendars.

Approved annual leave and other absences can be shown in one team calendar so managers and employees have a clearer picture of availability.

  • Company-wide calendar
  • Department filtering
  • Different time-off types
  • Desktop and mobile views
  • Upcoming leave visibility

04 Custom time-off rules

Configure annual leave and other absences around your company.

Create the time-off types your business actually uses and decide how each one behaves instead of forcing every absence into the same holiday rule.

  • Custom time-off types
  • Choose whether allowance is deducted
  • Choose whether approval is required
  • Control whether employees can request it
  • Allow half-days where appropriate

Questions about what Awayly can do.

Can employees request annual leave themselves?

Yes. Employees can submit annual leave requests from Awayly, see their own holiday allowance and follow the status of pending, approved and declined requests.

Can managers see potential holiday clashes?

Can Awayly track sickness and other absences?

Yes. Company admins can configure sickness, appointments, unpaid leave, training and other custom time-off types alongside annual leave.

Can different absence types use different rules?

Yes. Admins can decide whether a time-off type deducts holiday allowance, requires approval, can be requested by employees and allows half-day bookings.

Can Awayly handle part-time employees?

Yes. Individual working patterns can be stored so leave management reflects the days each employee normally works.
