CaptureLeave: leave and attendance management SaaS
Leave management software for companies: accrual rules at company, site, group and employee level, shift planning, a time clock with time zones, and attendance reporting.

Overview
CaptureLeave sells leave and absence management to employers. Over five years we built and extended the application: accrual rules that can be switched on at company, site, group or individual level with monthly, daily, yearly, twice-monthly or fortnightly methods, shift planning, a time clock that understands time zones, and reports on attendance, working hours and leave requests, plus the administration of users, groups and documents.

- Shift planning and a time clock with time-zone support
- Reports on attendance records, working hours and leave requests
