Leave Management Built Into Your Attendance Records
Leave and attendance answer the same question from opposite sides. Timenox keeps them in one place, so an empty day in a report explains itself.

When leave lives somewhere else
Most small and mid-sized teams track leave in a spreadsheet, a chat thread, or a manager's memory. It works until the end of the month, when someone has to reconcile an attendance report against approvals that were never written down in the same place. Days go missing. Balances get argued about. The person doing the reconciling loses an afternoon.
The alternative usually offered is a full HR suite with payroll, appraisals and document storage attached. That is a large purchase and a large rollout to solve one reporting problem.
How leave works in Timenox
Configured once by an administrator, then used by the team without training.
Set up your leave types
Define the categories your policy actually uses, and set the month your leave year begins so reporting periods line up with how you already work.
Employees request leave
A request is raised against a leave type and a date range, arriving in one reviewable place instead of scattered across inboxes and messages.
You review and the record updates
The outcome is stored against the employee, so attendance reporting reflects approved leave rather than showing an unexplained gap.
What is included
Configurable leave types
Per-company leave categories rather than a fixed list you have to work around.
Request and approval flow
Employees raise requests, administrators decide, and the decision is recorded.
Holiday calendars
Company holidays are maintained separately from leave, so a public holiday is not logged as an absence.
Configurable leave year
Choose the month your leave year starts to match your financial or policy year.
Employee self-service
Requests can be raised through the employee portal, also on Grow and Trust.
Tied to attendance
Leave and check-in data sit in one system, which is what makes daily reports readable.
Leave management, not an HR suite
We would rather be clear about the boundary than have you discover it after purchase. Timenox handles leave because leave is inseparable from attendance. It stops there deliberately.

Who this suits
Growing teams past the spreadsheet
Somewhere around twenty people, tracking leave by hand stops being viable and nobody has time to fix it.
Operations-led businesses
Retail, hospitality and clinics where an unexplained absence affects a shift rota the same day.
Teams that do not want an HRMS
Organisations that need leave and attendance handled properly without buying a people-management platform.

Leave management questions
Is leave management included in the Free plan?
No. Leave management is part of the Grow and Trust plans. The Free plan covers attendance for up to 10 employees at one location. You can trial Grow for 14 days without a credit card.
Can we define our own leave types?
Yes. Leave types are configured per company rather than fixed by us, so annual leave, sick leave, unpaid leave and whatever else your policy contains can be set up to match the wording your team already uses.
How do employees request leave?
Employees raise a request that an administrator or manager reviews, with the outcome recorded against the employee. On the Grow and Trust plans they can do this through the employee portal rather than by email or chat message.
Does leave affect attendance reports?
That is the point of keeping them together. Approved leave explains a day with no check-in, so an absence that was authorised does not read the same way as one that was not.
Does Timenox calculate payroll from leave?
No. Timenox is attendance and workforce management, not payroll software. It keeps accurate leave and attendance records that your payroll process can consume; it does not run payroll, calculate salary or file statutory returns.
Can we set our own leave year?
Yes. The month your leave year starts is a company setting, so organisations that do not run on a January-to-December cycle are not forced into one.
Stop reconciling leave by hand
