Factorial Leave Management is a SaaS HR software specialized in managing leave and absences. Its main goal is to simplify and automate processes related to leave and absence planning while reducing errors and repetitive administrative tasks.

This software is designed to meet the needs of HR managers, team leads, and executives of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). It is also intended for employees who want an intuitive solution to request leave or check their balances transparently—and for their managers, who can easily approve leave requests and view their team's absence schedule.

Among its key features, Factorial offers real-time tracking of leave requests, a centralized dashboard to view absences, and automation tools to calculate balances and manage payroll deductions. These tools help every user, whether HR or employee, save time and ensure smooth absence management.

What are the features of Factorial Leave Management?

Automated leave request management
The software simplifies the process by allowing employees to request leave directly online. These requests are automatically sent to managers for approval via instant notification.

Example: An employee can submit a leave request from their smartphone, and the manager receives an alert on their dashboard for quick action.

Accurate leave balance tracking
With Factorial, each employee can check their leave balance in real time, without needing to contact HR. The software takes into account the company’s specific rules, such as:

• Leave accrual policies

• Types of leave available (RTT, paid leave, special absences)

• Carry-over periods allowed

Automated payroll deductions
In cases of unexcused absences or unpaid leave, Factorial automatically calculates payroll deductions and integrates them directly into the payroll system. This greatly reduces errors and saves HR teams valuable time on administrative tasks.

Centralized and intuitive dashboard
Factorial offers a clear, customizable dashboard that enables HR managers and team leads to quickly view all current and upcoming absences.

Example: A manager can instantly see if a team is at risk of being understaffed during a certain period, thanks to visual indicators like alerts for overlapping leave.

Absence reports and analysis
Factorial includes advanced analytics tools to monitor absence trends across the organization. For example, an HR manager can generate a quarterly report to identify peak absence periods or departments most affected, and take corrective action.

Shared and interactive absence calendar
Factorial includes a collaborative absence calendar accessible to all employees and managers. It shows real-time leave periods for each colleague, making team scheduling easier.

Example: A manager can quickly spot if multiple team members are off during a key period and adjust plans accordingly. The calendar can also sync with other management tools for optimal coordination.
