One person owns the spreadsheet

Get more control than a spreadsheet without buying a huge HR platform.
Small businesses often need a proper holiday process long before they need a large HR suite. The challenge is finding something simple enough for the team but structured enough to reduce admin.
Awayly focuses on holiday and absence management, with one flat company price and straightforward tools for employees, managers and admins.
Common small business holiday problems
The spreadsheet works — until it starts creating more work.
Employees ask for balances
The latest entitlement is not always visible to the employee.
Managers check several places
Requests, calendars and balances can all live separately.
Growing headcount adds admin
More employees means more manual updates and more chances for mistakes.
Simple for employees

Employees can see their own holiday balance, submit requests and follow status without learning a complicated HR platform.
