AThe short answer

Workzoom leave management software handles time off requests, accrual, rollover, balances, and approvals. Employees submit requests with visibility into balances and the team calendar, then one approval automatically updates the schedule, creates an open shift, notifies qualified staff, and posts the payroll entry. Accrual and rollover rules are configured per policy and employee class, covering PTO, sick leave, and statutory leave of absence. Because leave management software is built into the HRIS, an approval is not a dead end in a spreadsheet: it moves through scheduling and payroll on its own. Workzoom leave management software fits employers with 50 to 5,000 employees.

The real problem

Where leave management breaks down today

03 pain points

Leave-balance questions are one of the highest-volume HR inquiries. Every one is a routine answer that takes HR out of real work.

The Workzoom answer

Workzoom Time Off gives employees real-time visibility into their balance and team availability. Silvera for Seniors eliminated their highest category of HR inquiries this way.

Workforce Suite

One approval triggers the whole chain, all the way to payroll.

Every Workzoom suite runs on one employee record, so time off stays current with payroll, HR, workforce, and talent without an export or an integration to maintain.

Benefits

Why Time Off?

No More Leave Balance Questions to HR

When employees can see their real-time balance and submit requests on their own, the volume of routine questions HR handles drops immediately. Silvera for Seniors eliminated their highest category of HR inquiries by moving 400 employees across 36 buildings to self-serve.

Managers Approve With Full Team Visibility

Seeing who else is already off before approving a request prevents the coverage gaps that happen when multiple people on the same team take the same week. Coverage thresholds create a safety net so understaffing cannot happen accidentally.

Approved Leave Reaches Payroll Without Re-Entry

Leave deductions calculate and apply to the next pay run automatically the moment a request is approved. There is no export, no spreadsheet reconciliation, and no separate step between time off and payroll.

How it works

How leave management software runs in production.

01 LEAVE POLICY CONFIGURATION

Define leave rules once and let the system handle everything else

Workzoom lets you configure leave types, accrual rules, carry-over limits, and waiting periods once. From there, accruals calculate automatically, requests route to the right manager, and payroll deductions apply without re-entry.

  • Configure unlimited leave types with individual formulas and rules
  • Tenure-based accrual rates with automatic tier changes
  • Automatic carryover with configurable caps and waiting periods
  • Pro-rated balances for mid-year hires calculated automatically

02 EMPLOYEE SELF-SERVICE

Employees submit requests from any device with real-time balances

Workzoom gives employees mobile-friendly access to their current leave balance and a simple submission form from any device. Requests route to their direct manager automatically based on org structure, with no email chains or spreadsheet lookups involved.

  • Mobile-friendly submission from any device
  • Real-time balance visible before submitting a request
  • Auto-routing based on org structure to the correct manager
  • Silvera for Seniors: 400 employees across 36 buildings use self-serve

03 MANAGER APPROVAL WITH CONTEXT

Managers see team coverage before approving any request

Workzoom shows managers the team calendar and existing coverage alongside every leave request before they approve. Coverage thresholds prevent understaffing and one-tap approval or decline with a reason replaces the back-and-forth of email-based approvals.

  • Team calendar shows who else is already off that week
  • Coverage thresholds prevent understaffing on high-demand dates
  • One-tap approval or decline with a reason from any device
  • No more approving blindly without visibility into team coverage

04 PAYROLL INTEGRATION

Approved leave creates payroll deductions automatically

Workzoom connects approved leave directly to payroll so that sick days, vacation, and personal days all generate the correct deduction codes for the next pay run automatically. There is no export, no import, and no month-end reconciliation between leave and payroll.

  • Approved absences create correct deduction codes for the next pay run
  • Leave types mapped to payroll categories automatically
  • Zero manual re-entry from time-off approval to payroll processing
  • Timesheets update automatically when leave is approved

05 SCHEDULING INTEGRATION

Approved leave creates scheduling vacancies automatically

Workzoom connects time off and scheduling in one pipeline so approved leave triggers a vacancy in the schedule that managers can fill from the qualified staff list. Organizations with seasonal staffing swings keep coverage intact when approved leave automatically opens a fillable shift instead of a silent gap.

  • Approved time off creates schedule vacancies automatically
  • Vacancies surface in the scheduling vacancy fill workflow immediately
  • Leave balances visible when managers are building the schedule
  • One system for leave, scheduling, and payroll with no manual sync

08Frequently asked

What teams ask before turning on Time Off.

Specifics on how Workzoom time off works, what it costs, and how it connects to the rest of the platform.

Workzoom automates the full leave management lifecycle from policy configuration through to payroll deduction. Employees submit requests through self-service, managers approve with team coverage visibility, accruals calculate based on configurable rules, and approved leave creates the correct payroll deductions for the next pay run automatically.
Workzoom gives employees real-time access to their current leave balance through the self-service portal on any device. They see their accurate balance before submitting a request so neither employees nor HR teams need to manually look up accrual information.
Workzoom shows managers the team calendar and who else is already approved for time off before they approve a new request. Coverage thresholds can be configured to prevent approvals that would leave a team understaffed below a defined minimum. This visibility happens within the approval workflow without any separate calendar check.
Workzoom connects approved leave directly to payroll through one shared database. Approved absences create the correct deduction codes for the next pay run automatically with no export, no import, and no month-end reconciliation. Timesheets also update automatically so timekeepers see the absence reason already categorized.
Workzoom supports configurable accrual rules for each leave type including tenure-based rates with automatic tier changes, carryover limits, waiting periods, and pro-rated balances for mid-year hires. Each leave type follows its own formula and the system enforces all rules automatically.
Workzoom connects time off and scheduling in one pipeline so approved leave creates a scheduling vacancy automatically. That vacancy surfaces in the scheduling module where managers see a ranked list of qualified staff who can fill the shift. Leave balances are also visible when managers are building upcoming schedules so conflicts are prevented before requests are even submitted.
Workzoom replaced Silvera for Seniors' paper-based leave process across 400 employees in 36 buildings. Time off was previously the single biggest source of HR inquiries because employees had to call HR to check balances and submit requests by paper form. After switching to Workzoom, employees handle everything through self-service and every approved day flows to payroll automatically.
Workzoom gives Island Luck the coverage visibility needed to manage leave approvals across 60+ gaming locations running 8 payrolls per week. Managers see who is already approved for time off before approving new requests, and coverage thresholds prevent gaps that would affect operations.
