Requests and leave
Time off, approved without the back and forth.
Your team asks on their phone. Each approver decides in turn, the balance keeps count, and the answer reaches them as a notification.
Asked for in the app, decided on the web.
Decide it yourself.
Adham asks for five days off. Approve it as Asim, then as Ahmed, and watch where his hours go.
Each approver is told when it is their turn, and Adham is told the answer.

Leave that keeps its own books.
Set the rules once. Sharkforce counts the hours, skips the holidays and keeps the busy weeks covered.
Every hour accounted for.
Hours wait while a request is decided, then count as used. Reject it and they come back.

Questions owners ask.
Something else on your mind? Talk to us
Who approves a request?
You choose for each request type: anyone allowed to approve requests, or named approvers in order. With named approvers, it waits for each one in turn.
Can someone approve their own leave?
Not unless you allow it. A role cannot approve its own requests until you turn that on in Roles and Permissions.
Are public holidays taken from the balance?
Not when they fall inside a leave, and neither are the Friday and Saturday in it. Add your own holidays, or import the Saudi or Ontario pack.
Can I keep leave out of our busiest weeks?
Yes. Add blackout dates for every leave type or only some, and leave on those dates is refused unless you allow an override.
What if a worker has no signal?
The app saves the request and sends it on its own once the phone is back online.
Does approved leave reach payroll?
Yes. Approved paid leave is added to the pay run, and a run waits while leave in its period is still being decided.
Can we talk about a request?
Yes. Reply on the request and they see it in the app. Internal notes stay with your staff.
Is it only for leave?
No. Certificates, equipment, expenses and IT support each have a type of their own, and you can add yours.
The rest of the job, in the same app.
