Leave approvals without the inbox chaos.
Employees apply in a tap, managers approve in one click, and balances update themselves. No emails, no shared sheets, no guesswork.
Every leave request, handled in seconds
Policy-driven accruals, team calendars, and live balances that always reconcile — built into Horilla HRMS.
Custom leave types
Annual, sick, casual, comp-off, maternity and any custom type — each with its own rules and accrual logic.
Approval workflows
Multi-level and skip-level approval chains that route automatically to the right manager every time.
Automatic accruals
Balances accrue monthly, yearly, or per policy — with carry-forward, encashment, and caps handled for you.
Live balances
Every employee sees an always-correct balance, and so does their manager before they approve.
Horilla WhatsApp
Employees can create leave requests directly from WhatsApp, and managers get instant notifications—so leave requests are submitted and approved without leaving the chat.
Leave reports
Export utilisation, liability, and balance reports for any team or period in a click.
