Leave management, policy to payslip

Any leave policy you can write down, Kredily can run.

Fifty-plus policy controls — accrual schedules, carry-forward caps, encashment, sandwich rule, probation limits — bundled into rule-sets you assign per team. Employees apply in a tap; balances, approvals and loss-of-pay flow into payroll on their own.

AI Copilot

Leave, in plain English

The Kredily AI Copilot handles leave conversationally — role-gated, grounded in your actual policies and balances.

Apply by asking

"Apply 2 days sick leave from Monday" — Copilot checks the balance, applies the policy rules and raises the request in one message.

Answers from your policy

"Can I carry forward my earned leave?" — answered from your company's actual rule-sets, not a generic FAQ.

Managers approve in chat

"Approve Priya's leave" — with balance and team-calendar context inline. Every action is permission-checked and logged.

Policy engine

Your policy, exactly — not a template's version of it

Configure once per leave type, bundle into rule-sets, assign by team, location or grade.

Accrual & balances

  • Annual, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly accrual — credit at period start or end
  • Pro-rata credit for mid-year joiners
  • Carry-forward with caps, encashment, or lapse at year end
  • Calendar-year or financial-year leave cycles

Rules & restrictions

  • Sandwich rule — weekends and holidays inside a leave span count your way
  • Notice periods, application windows and monthly limits
  • Probation rules and negative-balance control
  • Calendar-day or working-day counting per leave type

Rule-set bundles

  • Bundle leave types into policies per team, location or grade
  • Custom leave types beyond CL/SL/EL — as many as you need
  • Bulk-assign employees with the shared directory picker
Workflow

Approvals that keep everyone honest

One-tap approvals

Requests reach the manager's phone with balance and team context. Approve or reject in a tap — rejections require a reason.

Skip-level option

Route approvals to the manager's manager when you need a second gate — one toggle, no workflow builder required.

Cancel approved leave

Plans change. Approved leave can be cancelled by the employee or admin, with balances restored and everything logged.

📅

Team calendar

Managers see who's out and when before approving — no more accidentally empty teams on a launch day.

Holidays & comp-off

Multi-location holidays and earned time off

🗓

Holiday sets by location

Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi don't share holidays — assign a separate calendar to each office, bulk-uploaded in minutes.

Optional holidays

Publish a restricted-holiday list and let employees elect their own — tracked against their entitlement automatically.

Comp-off, earned & spent

Work on a weekly off earns comp-off with an expiry; it's applied through the same leave workflow, so nothing leaks.

🛡

Audited balance edits

HR can adjust any balance — and every edit is logged with who, when and why. Clean answers at audit time.

Year end

December 31st, without the spreadsheet panic

1

Carry-forward runs itself

At cycle end, balances carry forward up to your cap, encash, or lapse — per leave type, per policy, automatically.

2

Encashment hits the payslip

Encashed days convert to pay in the payroll run — no manual computation, no reconciliation email thread.

3

Every number defensible

The accrual ledger and balance-edit audit trail mean any employee's closing balance can be explained line by line.

How it works

From policy to payslip

1

Define policies

Set leave types, accruals, carry-forward and restrictions; bundle them into rule-sets and assign per team or location.

2

Employees apply

Apply on web or mobile against a live balance; managers approve with team context in a tap.

3

Payroll updates itself

Approved leave, LOP and encashment flow straight into the payroll run — no reconciliation spreadsheet.

FAQ

Leave management questions, answered

Can I set up my own leave policies?
Yes — with 50+ controls per policy: custom leave types, accrual frequency (annual to monthly), pro-rata for joiners, carry-forward caps, encashment, notice periods, probation rules, negative-balance limits and more. Policies bundle into rule-sets you assign by team, location or grade.
Does Kredily support the sandwich rule?
Yes. You decide whether weekends and holidays falling inside a leave span are counted as leave (sandwich) or excluded — per leave type, along with calendar-day vs working-day counting.
How do accruals and carry-forward work?
Leave accrues annually, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly — credited at the start or end of each period, pro-rated for mid-year joiners. At year end, balances carry forward up to your cap, encash, or lapse, per your policy.
Can employees in different cities have different holidays?
Yes. Create holiday sets per location and assign them to the right offices. Optional/restricted holidays can be published for employees to elect individually.
How does comp-off work?
Working on a weekly off or holiday earns comp-off, with an optional expiry. Employees spend it through the normal leave workflow, so balances and approvals stay in one place.
Does leave connect to payroll?
Yes. Approved leave, loss-of-pay and encashment feed the payroll run automatically, and retroactive changes trigger a recalculation — payslips always match reality.
Can managers approve leave on mobile?
Yes. Requests arrive on the manager's phone with balance and team-calendar context; approve or reject (with a mandatory reason) in a tap. A skip-level approval gate is one toggle away.
Can employees on probation have different leave rules?
Yes. Probation rules restrict which leave types apply and when accrual starts, and negative-balance controls decide whether anyone can go below zero — and by how much.
Are half-day leaves supported?
Yes. Employees can apply for first-half or second-half sessions, balances deduct 0.5 days, and payroll treats them correctly.
Is leave management free?
Yes. Leave management is included free for unlimited employees on the Free Forever plan — no credit card, no per-seat minimum.

Leave that runs itself, payslips that match.

Set up in minutes. Free for unlimited employees. Any policy, enforced automatically.
