Everything European teams need to manage leave across borders
EU Working Time Directive
Track the minimum 4 weeks (20 days) annual leave required by EU Directive 2003/88/EC. Configure country-specific entitlements that exceed the EU minimum for Germany, France, Netherlands, and more.
Multi-country leave management
Manage leave policies across multiple EU member states from a single dashboard. Different entitlements, public holidays, and carry-over rules for each country — all in one place.
~EUR 9/month flat rate
One price for your entire team across all countries. No per-user fees, no per-country charges. A 50-person team across 5 EU countries pays the same as a 5-person team in one.
GDPR compliant
Employee leave data is encrypted at rest and in transit. PII handling follows GDPR requirements — data minimisation, purpose limitation, and right to erasure built in.
Unlimited employees
Add every member of staff across every EU office — full-time, part-time, and contractors. No per-seat pricing means no tough choices about who to include.
Slack & Teams integration
Employees request and approve leave directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Leave management lives where your team already works — no new app to learn.
