Approval workflows that match your org
Define who approves which leave type, single approver, two-tier (manager and HR), or custom rules. Approvers see the request, the employee's balance, and any conflicts (other team members already on leave) before deciding.
See it in actionEverything Crew leave management handles.
Balance tracking and accrual
Crew tracks each employee's balance per type, accrues new leave automatically based on your rules, and handles year-end carry-forward (capped, lapsing, or unlimited). Balances appear on payslips and in the self-service portal.
Pakistan public holiday calendar
Crew preloads Pakistan's public holidays, including movable holidays like Eid and Ashura, and adjusts annually. Public holidays are excluded from leave calculations automatically.
Team calendar view
Managers and HR see a team calendar showing who's on leave when. Useful for scheduling, project planning, and noticing patterns, like everyone trying to take the last week of December off.
Mobile self-service
The whole flow works on mobile. Employees request, managers approve, and HR oversees from their phones. No more leave requests stuck in someone's inbox while they're traveling.
Why it breaks
Why leave management breaks in growing businesses.
Up to about 10 employees, leave management runs on goodwill and memory. Past that, it breaks in predictable ways. Someone takes leave the manager forgot they approved. Two key people are out the same week. Year-end balances are wrong because nobody's been counting.
Crew fixes this without making it bureaucratic. Employees see their balance before they request. Managers see who else is out before they approve. HR sees the full picture without being copied on every email.
Day-to-day fixes
Common leave problems Crew solves.
'I didn't know they were on leave today'
Manager calendars sync automatically. Approved leave appears on the calendar the moment it's approved. No surprise absences.
'My balance is wrong'
Balances update in real time as leave is approved or carried forward. Employees can see their current and forecasted balance any time. Year-end disputes drop to near zero.
'Two people on the same critical role are off the same week'
When an employee requests leave, Crew shows the manager who else is already approved off during that period. Conflicts surface before approval, not after.
'We forgot to add the new leave type for paternity'
New leave types are added in minutes. Apply to all employees or specific groups (full-time, by location, by role). Employees see new types instantly in self-service.
Local-first
Built for Pakistani leave realities.
Pakistani businesses have specific leave realities most international tools don't handle gracefully. Crew handles them out of the box.
- Religious leave types (Eid leave, hajj leave) configurable as standard types
- Movable public holidays, Eid, Ashura, Mawlid, adjusted automatically each year
- Multiple leave year configurations, fiscal year (July–June) or calendar year
- Different leave structures for different employee categories (permanent, contract, probation)
- Maternity leave aligned with Pakistan's labor law standards
- Sick leave with optional medical certificate uploads
How it works
From setup to running, in three steps.
Configure your policies
Annual, casual, sick, hajj, maternity, bereavement, set rules, accruals, and carryover. Most Pakistani SMBs configure 4–6 leave types out of the box.
Employees request from their phone
Each request shows the employee's current balance and routes to the right approver based on the org chart. Documents like medical certificates attach in the same flow.
Balances and payroll auto-update
Approved leave updates accruals in real time and unpaid days flow to payroll automatically. Year-end carry-forward and lapse rules apply on schedule.
Saved over 80 hours a year
“Payroll used to take at least one full day per month. We’re able to run payroll bi-weekly now, which takes us less than an hour each month.”
