Why teams switch
Everything leave and absence touches, in one place. Nothing it doesn’t.
Three clicks to request
On web or the iOS and Android apps. Balances, substitutes and team overlap are visible before anyone hits send.
Your rules, every country
Leave types, accruals, carry-over and public holidays per entity. Approval chains that match how you actually work.
Records payroll can trust
E-signed leave orders, regulatory reports and exports, generated the moment a request is approved.
Policies & compliance
Local labour law, handled. From Sofia to Madrid.
Set leave policies once per legal entity. TIMEOFF.GURU calculates entitlements, applies national holidays and produces the documents each jurisdiction expects, including qualified e-signatures.
- Accruals, carry-over and leave by the hour
- Public holiday calendars for 40+ countries
- Leave orders signed with QES, archived automatically
Hybrid work
Know who’s in the office, at home or on the road.
Work locations live next to leave in the same calendar. Use them for information only, or with approvals and limits, and plan office meetings around real presence.

Our employees got used to using the system in less than a month, and to date, we have no comments or complaints.
