Manage leave requests without losing roster visibility

Employees request leave from the app. Managers approve or decline in Urhere, and approved leave shows on the roster straight away.

Leave requests and roster visibility in one place

Managing leave through email or group chat creates gaps between what staff have requested and what the roster shows. Urhere keeps leave requests, approvals and roster availability together — so managers always see the current picture when they are building shifts.

Leave management

Manage leave without losing visibility

Keep leave requests, approvals and roster visibility in the same system.

Employee leave requests

Employees submit leave requests from the Urhere mobile app — selecting dates, leave type and any notes. No paper forms or email chains.

Manager approvals

Managers review pending requests and approve or decline directly in Urhere. Employees are notified of the outcome straight away.

Visible on the roster

Approved leave appears on the roster automatically. Managers see who is away when they are scheduling shifts for that period.

Conflict visibility

When reviewing a leave request, managers can see if other team members are already on leave over the same dates — before they approve.

Leave history

All leave taken and approved is stored in Urhere. Useful for checking balances, identifying patterns and keeping payroll records accurate.

Connected to timesheets

Approved leave is reflected in timesheets with the correct leave type. When timesheets are exported, leave is included and correctly categorised.

Review leave requests with full roster context

When a leave request comes in during a busy period, approving it without checking the roster can leave a gap. Urhere shows managers who else is already on leave before they make a decision.

If the dates overlap with another approved absence and leave a location short-staffed, managers can see the conflict before they approve — not after publishing the roster.

  • Pending and approved leave shown side by side
  • Conflict warning if coverage drops below minimum
  • Roster impact visible at the point of approval
  • Approve with note or decline with reason

How leave management works in Urhere

Employee submits request

Staff select dates and leave type in the Urhere app. The request goes to the manager immediately — no chasing required.

Manager reviews with context

The manager sees the request alongside current leave for those dates. They can approve, approve with a note or decline.

Roster updates automatically

Approved leave appears on the roster for the relevant dates. No separate update needed — the roster reflects the current picture.

Leave recorded in timesheets

The leave type is recorded in the timesheet for those days. When payroll exports, the correct leave category is included.

Common questions about leave management
