The HR Nova.ai leave management system lets you define each leave type with its own entitlement, proration, carry-forward limit, expiry and encashment rule. Employees apply from the app, managers approve, balances update instantly, and extra hours worked on holidays can be credited as comp-off.
What is a leave management system?
A leave management system tracks leave entitlements, requests, approvals and balances for every employee, and applies the company's leave policy automatically.
What you get
Every leave type follows its own rules
Annual, casual, sick, comp-off and any custom type can each have their own carry-forward cap, expiry date and action at expiry: forfeit, encash or move to a carry pool.
Leave encashment without spreadsheets
Set the encashment percentage per leave type, and choose whether it applies on exit, every year, or both. HR Nova.ai calculates the eligible balance, applies the percentage and daily rate, and sends it to payroll or final settlement.
Comp-off, done fairly
When someone works on a holiday or beyond your extra-hours threshold, HR Nova.ai detects it, the manager verifies it, HR approves it, and the comp-off is credited at your conversion ratio with its own expiry.
Calendar, fiscal or custom leave years
New joiners are prorated from their joining date, whichever leave year you use.
