Leave Management Software
That Actually Works
Requests, approvals, balances, calendars, and reports — all automated. Stop losing leave requests in WhatsApp threads.
Leave management software automates the full lifecycle of employee leave — requests, approvals, balance tracking, conflict detection, and reporting. Employees submit requests from a mobile app, managers approve with one tap, and balances update automatically. Zilonex HRMS includes leave management free for up to 10 employees.
Everything you need in one place
How leave requests work in Zilonex
- Employee submits a request. Pick leave type, start date, end date, reason. Available balance shown live.
- Manager gets a push notification. They see the request in the app with the employee's current balance and team calendar impact.
- One-tap approval or rejection. Manager approves or rejects with an optional reason. Employee gets notified in real time.
- Balance updates automatically. No spreadsheets. No manual calculation.
- Team calendar reflects it. Everyone can see who's off, so scheduling stays coordinated.
Leave accrual policies that match how your business works
Set each leave type to accrue monthly (e.g. 1.25 days per calendar month), post an annual lump sum on January 1 or each employee's hire-date anniversary, or pro-rate balances for employees who join mid-year. No spreadsheet formulas. No manual credits at year-end.
Carryover rules — maximum days rolled from one year to the next — are configurable per leave type. Unused balance beyond the cap lapses automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What is leave management software?
Leave management software automates leave requests, approvals, balance tracking, and reporting. Instead of tracking leave in spreadsheets or WhatsApp groups, employees submit requests through the app, managers approve with one tap, and balances update automatically.
What leave types does Zilonex support?
Zilonex supports annual leave, sick leave, casual leave, unpaid leave, maternity and paternity leave, bereavement leave, and any custom leave types your business defines.
How does leave accrual work?
You choose the accrual model per leave type: monthly accrual (e.g. 1.25 days per month), annual lump sum credited on Jan 1 or hire date anniversary, or pro-rated for new joiners. Balances update automatically each period.
Can managers approve leave from the mobile app?
Yes. Managers get a push notification when an employee submits a leave request and can approve or reject with one tap from the app. The employee gets notified in real time.
Does Zilonex handle public holidays?
Yes. Add holidays to the calendar and they are automatically blocked from being counted as leave days. You can set different holiday calendars for different offices or teams.
Is the leave management software really free?
Zilonex HRMS is free forever for teams of up to 10 employees — including leave management, attendance, and basic payroll. Paid plans start at $20/month for teams that need unlimited employees, advanced payroll, or API access.
How does overlapping leave conflict detection work?
When a manager reviews a request, Zilonex shows a mini team calendar so they can see if other employees are already off during that period. Managers can set a minimum headcount rule and the system will warn before approving if the rule would be violated.
Can I export leave reports?
Yes. Leave reports can be exported as CSV, covering balances, usage, approvals, and rejections per employee or per period. Enterprise plans add scheduled PDF reports sent directly to managers or HR.
