Watch Leave Balance work inside Slack
Everything your team needs to manage leave from Slack
Request leave with /leavebalance
Employees type a slash command, fill in the dates, and submit — all without leaving Slack. No new app to learn, no browser tab to open.
One-click manager approvals
Managers get a Slack notification with Approve and Reject buttons. One click and it's done — no email chains, no spreadsheets.
Team absence notifications
Leave Balance posts approved absences to a Slack channel so the whole team knows who's off. No more guessing or calendar-checking.
Check your balance anytime
Employees DM the Leave Balance bot to see remaining annual leave, sick days, and any custom leave type — instant, private, always up to date.
Unlimited leave policies
Configure annual leave, sick leave, TOIL, compassionate leave, or any custom type. No limits on the number of policies or employees.
Daily & weekly absence summaries
Automated digests posted to your chosen channel — who's off today, who's off this week, and upcoming absences so managers can plan ahead.
