Talk to our team01Can I configure Leave Balance for UK leave policies?
You can configure leave types, entitlements, carry-over rules, approval workflows, and bank holidays to reflect your organisation's chosen UK policies.
Leave Balance does not interpret the Working Time Regulations, Employment Rights Act, contracts, or current guidance. Employers remain responsible for legal review and correct configuration.
02How much does Leave Balance cost for UK businesses?
Approximately GBP £8 per month (flat rate) or GBP £80 per year, based on current exchange rates. There are no per-user fees and no minimums.
This makes Leave Balance significantly cheaper than per-user UK alternatives like Timetastic or Charlie HR for teams of 10 or more.
03Does Leave Balance handle UK bank holidays?
Yes. All UK bank holidays are configured for England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Part-time employees' bank holiday entitlements are handled correctly.
You can customise which bank holidays apply to each team based on their work location.
04Can I track TOIL (Time Off in Lieu)?
Yes. TOIL can be set up as a custom leave type with its own accrual and expiry rules. Employees request TOIL and managers approve it 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 compliance; customers remain responsible for lawful use, notices, retention, access, and data-subject obligations.
