Leave management for schools, from request to approval
Teachers, staff, drivers, and students apply for leave online. Approvers see the request at once, staff balances update automatically, and every decision is on record.
Included in Orbit at no extra cost, along with every other module.
What changes when Leaves moves into Orbit
- Leave applications are paper slips that get lost between desks.
- Nobody knows a teacher's remaining balance without checking a register.
- Approved leave never reaches payroll or the timetable.
- No lost slips. Every request is tracked from submission to decision.
- Live balances. Staff always know how much leave they have left.
- Connected to payroll. Unpaid leave can flow into salary deductions.
Two leave requests on the same day
A teacher applies for two days of casual leave from her phone. HR sees her remaining balance next to the request, approves it, and her balance updates straight away.
The same morning a student's parent asks for a day off for a family event. The class teacher approves the student's leave, and it appears on the attendance record as excused, not absent.
