A better request process
Stop collecting holiday requests through email, chat and paper forms.
When staff request holiday through different channels, managers have to remember what is pending, what has been approved and whether the balance has been updated.
Awayly creates one online holiday request process from submission through to approval and team visibility.
Why informal requests become hard to manage
The request is simple; keeping everything else in sync is not.
No clear pending list
Managers may not know which requests still need a decision.
Balances are separate
Approving a request may require another manual spreadsheet update.
Employees chase updates
People ask whether their leave has been approved.

Request visibility
