Automatic accrual
Entitlement accrues through the year and pro-rates for starters and leavers, without a spreadsheet formula anyone is afraid to touch.
✦ Leave & absence
Balances everyone can see, clashes nobody has to spot.
Requests, accrual, carry-over and cover in one planner — so approving a week off does not mean checking three other places first.
The planner
See the team’s year, not one form at a time.
A planner across the team and the leave year, with approved leave, pending requests and non-working days in one grid. When two team leads want the same week, you find out while you can still say no gently.
- Team, staff and leave-year views with balance filters
- Clash detection against role, location and minimum cover
- Public holidays applied by location and country
- Delegated approvers for when a manager is away
- Unavailability entries that feed the rota’s conflict flags

Capabilities
The accrual maths, handled.
Carry-over rules
Cap what rolls into next year and refresh balances automatically at the start of each leave year.
Public holidays
Applied per location and country, so a multi-country group does not need a separate calendar.
Sickness & lateness
Record absence separately from holiday, with Bradford Factor scoring and trigger alerts.
Delegated approvers
Nominate a stand-in so requests do not sit unanswered for a fortnight.
Self-service
Staff book leave and watch the balance update, without emailing anyone.
For staff
"How many days have I got left?" — answered.
The single most common question a manager gets, and the least useful use of their time. In TaskBit the balance is in the employee’s own app, next to the request button and the history of what they have already taken.
- Live balance, including accrued-to-date
- Book, cancel and track a request from the phone
- See who else in the team is already off that week
- Approvals push straight back to the requester

Questions
What people ask about this.
Does it handle part-time and irregular hours?
Yes — entitlement pro-rates against contracted hours, and accrual runs through the year rather than being granted in one lump on day one.
Can we stop too many people being off at once?
Clash detection warns when a request would take a team, role or location below the cover you set. It is a warning to the approver rather than a hard block, because real weeks need exceptions.
Is sickness tracked separately?
Yes. Sickness and lateness are recorded distinctly from holiday, with Bradford Factor scoring and configurable trigger points.
What happens at the end of the leave year?
Balances refresh automatically, carry-over is applied up to your cap, and the previous year stays visible for the record.
