Talk to our team01Can I configure Leave Balance for German leave policies?
You can configure leave types, entitlements, carry-over rules, approval workflows, and public holidays to reflect your organisation's chosen policies.
Leave Balance does not interpret Bundesurlaubsgesetz, Mutterschutz, Elternzeit, contracts, collective agreements, or current guidance. Employers remain responsible for legal review and correct configuration.
02How much does Leave Balance cost for German businesses?
Approximately EUR 9 per month (flat rate) or EUR 90 per year. There are no per-user fees and no minimums.
This makes Leave Balance significantly cheaper than per-user German alternatives like Personio or Kenjo for teams of 10 or more.
03Does Leave Balance handle Bundesland-specific public holidays?
Yes. You can configure Feiertage for all 16 German states. Bayern has the most public holidays (13), while Berlin has among the fewest (10).
Each team sees only the correct public holidays based on their work location.
04Can we track Elternzeit (parental leave)?
Yes. Elternzeit can be set up as a custom leave type with its own rules. You can track Mutterschutz (maternity protection) and Elternzeit separately through the same simple workflow.
05What integrations are available?
Slack is live for in-workspace leave workflows. Microsoft Teams is a limited, invite-only pilot with no public install; its capabilities and tenant eligibility are confirmed before onboarding.
Email notifications are also available for teams that prefer a traditional workflow.
06What privacy controls does Leave Balance provide?
Leave Balance includes security and privacy controls such as encryption for covered data. Those controls do not by themselves establish your organisation's GDPR or DSGVO compliance; customers remain responsible for lawful use, notices, retention, access, and data-subject obligations.
