Talk to our team 01 Is Leave Balance compliant with the Fair Work Act?
Leave Balance supports all leave types mandated by the National Employment Standards — annual leave, personal/carer's leave, compassionate leave, family and domestic violence leave, community service leave, and long service leave.
You can configure leave policies to match your applicable Modern Award, and leave balances are calculated automatically to reduce the risk of underpayment.
02 How much does Leave Balance cost for Australian businesses?
AUD $29 per month (flat rate) or AUD $290 per year. There are no per-user fees, no minimums, and no hidden charges.
A team of 10 pays the same as a team of 200. This makes Leave Balance significantly more affordable than per-user alternatives for most Australian SMBs.
03 Does Leave Balance handle state-specific public holidays?
Yes. You can configure public holidays for every Australian state and territory — NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, and NT.
Leave calculations automatically account for the correct public holidays based on each employee's work location.
04 Can I track long service leave with Leave Balance?
Yes. Long service leave entitlements vary by state, and Leave Balance lets you set up separate policies for each jurisdiction your team operates in.
Accruals are tracked automatically, so you can see pro-rata entitlements and plan for upcoming milestones.
05 What integrations are available?
Leave Balance integrates natively with Slack and Microsoft Teams. Employees can request leave and managers can approve — all without leaving their workspace.
Email notifications are also available for teams that prefer a traditional workflow.
