Leave tracking that works
across time zones.
Your team spans London, Sydney, and San Francisco. Your leave tracker should keep up. Leave Balance gives distributed teams a shared calendar, multi-region policies, and Slack-first workflows — $10/month flat.
Remote leave management is broken
Spreadsheets and email chains weren't designed for teams spread across cities and countries. Here's what goes wrong.
Leave requests lost across time zones
Someone in Sydney requests leave while your manager in London is asleep. By morning the request is buried in Slack or lost in an email thread. Nothing gets approved on time.
No visibility into who's off, where
Your team spans three countries and you can't see who's on annual leave, sick leave, or a public holiday. Double-bookings happen. Coverage gaps go unnoticed until it's too late.
Spreadsheets can't handle multi-region policies
Different leave entitlements, different public holidays, different carry-over rules. One spreadsheet per country quickly becomes a maintenance nightmare nobody owns.
Six reasons remote teams choose Leave Balance
One tool that handles leave across countries, time zones, and working cultures — without the enterprise price tag.
Works across every time zone
Employees request leave and managers approve it — all inside Slack or Teams. No one needs to be online at the same time. Async-first workflows that fit how distributed teams actually work.
Multi-region public holidays
Set public holiday calendars for the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US, and dozens of other countries. Employees see only their local holidays — no manual lookup required.
One shared team calendar
See everyone's leave on a single calendar regardless of their location. Spot coverage gaps before they happen and plan sprints around team availability.
Custom policies per country
Different leave entitlements, different accrual rules, different carry-over limits. Set up policies per region and Leave Balance handles the calculations automatically.
Self-service for the whole team
Employees check balances, request leave, and see who's off — without emailing HR or logging into a separate system. One slash command in Slack or message in Teams does it all.
$10/mo flat — no per-seat fees
Whether your remote team has 5 people or 200, the price is the same. No surprise invoices when you hire across borders. Budget predictability that scales with you.
Leave Balance vs the alternatives
Enterprise HRIS tools are overkill. Spreadsheets can't scale across borders. Per-seat pricing penalises global hiring. Here's where we fit.
| Tool | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| BambooHR | $250+/mo | Full HRIS, overkill for distributed SMBs |
| Timetastic | $1.50/user/mo | Costs scale with every hire across borders |
| Vacation Tracker | $50+/mo | Limited multi-region support |
| Spreadsheets | Free | No automation, no visibility across time zones |
| Leave Balance | $10/mo flat | Unlimited employees, multi-region, Slack + Teams |
