Overview

Leave Administration That Runs Itself

Leave management is one of the most common sources of HR disputes, payroll errors and manpower planning failures — yet most businesses still manage it with spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages and paper forms. When balances are wrong, employees complain. When approvals are slow, trust breaks down.

UniqHRM brings the entire leave lifecycle — application, approval, balance tracking and payroll integration — into one digital system accessible from any device.

Core Capabilities

Everything in the Leave Module

📱

Online Leave Application

Employees apply for leave from the mobile app or web portal, selecting type, dates, reason and covering arrangements — no paper forms, no printing.

📊

Real-Time Balance Dashboard

Employees and managers see live leave balances, pending applications and approved leave history at any time — no need to call HR to check entitlements.

✅

Multi-Level Approval Workflow

Configure single or multi-level approval chains. Managers receive mobile notifications and can approve, reject or query leave requests from anywhere.

📅

Team Leave Calendar

Managers see a real-time calendar of who is on leave, allowing them to plan cover and avoid approving leave when headcount is critically low.

🔗

Payroll Integration

Approved no-pay leave, encashment and unpaid absences flow automatically into the monthly pay run — no manual reconciliation between leave and payroll records.

🌏

Public Holiday Calendar

Singapore and Philippines public holidays pre-loaded and updated annually. Automatic detection prevents employees from applying for leave on non-working days.

📈

Leave Analytics & Reports

HR can run leave utilisation reports, track carry-forward balances, flag employees with high absenteeism and plan headcount around leave patterns.

⚙️

Custom Leave Policies

Set accrual frequency, carry-forward caps, encashment rules, expiry dates and eligibility by employee type — all without needing IT support to configure.
