Use Case

Centralize leave management for holidays, sick days, PTO, vacation, and parental leave. Employees submit requests, and managers approve them within their workflow. Notifications are available in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the Bob mobile app.

HR can configure detailed accrual rules, including country-specific rules such as Germany’s partial and full allowance. A calendar view, automated reports, and historical balances help teams plan coverage and provide accurate information for payroll and compliance workflows. The feature supports companies with multiple locations, levels, and teams.

Track and approve working hours and attendance across hybrid, remote, shift, and flexible work models. Employees can clock in and out, add forgotten entries, and correct their records on desktop, in Slack or Microsoft Teams, or on mobile.

Managers can review consolidated overviews, spot missing or incorrect entries early, and approve times promptly. HR can align work cycles with payroll, remind late submitters, and export attendance reports for payroll processing.

Target Audience

HR teams, people managers, and employees at small to mid-sized and fast-growing companies can use configurable leave policies and clear coverage planning, including across multiple sites and international locations.
