Powerful enough for complex policies, simple enough for everyone to use on day one.
Employees book time off in seconds. Managers approve or decline with optional notes. Notice-period rules per leave type stop last-minute Friday-afternoon requests.
A colour-coded calendar showing who's away and when. Filter by department, spot clashes before they bite, and export to your calendar of choice.
Track yearly allowances per person, carry over what's unused, and let Deckchair calculate balances correctly for part-time and compressed-week workers without anyone reaching for a calculator.
Create as many leave types as you need. Each one gets its own colour, approval rules, and notice periods. Lock dates during peak season or critical deadlines.
Group people into departments that match how your team is organised. Assign managers, set role-based permissions, and let Deckchair route requests to the right person automatically.
Auto-populate public holidays by country and region. Define work patterns per team or individual - Deckchair adjusts balances automatically for non-standard schedules.
Approve leave from Slack or Teams messages, run a daily who's-off digest in any channel, ask who's off with the /deckchair slash command or @Deckchair in Teams, and optionally sync status and presence while members are on leave.
