Approve leave requests from a Slack message
Managers get a direct message with the dates, the days left after, and any clash with approved leave. Approve or decline in one click. No more fleeting emails or complicated spreadsheets.
Notifications
Employees hear back straight away
OfficeSimplify messages the employee the moment their request is approved or declined, so no one waits weeks to make holiday plans.
Daily digest
A daily digest of who's out
Each morning a channel gets the list of who has approved leave today, plus birthdays and other dates to watch out for.
Slack status
Slack status updates automatically
While someone is on leave, their Slack status shows Away with a message and emoji you choose for each leave type. It resets to Available when they are back.
