Create your vacation plan

How does it work?

Thanks to Calamari, you can easily create your vacation plan. The only thing you need to do is to create a time-off request using a leave management mobile app or webpage. The automated absence management system will send your request to the person responsible for acceptance, and when your day-off will be approved, you will get a notification.

In Calamari, you can also set up automated leave approvals for selected employees. Every vacation request is archived by HR management software so all employees can see their day-off limits and vacation calendars. They can also make changes or cancel their requests. Because of efficient document circulation, our online leave management system will make vacation and time-off management in your company much easier.

Time off request approval in 3 simple steps

Requesting an absence is an automated process based on efficient information flow. The employee requests a day off by filling an online employee time-off request, which is then send to the supervisor.

The manager gets an email or Slack notification about the waiting day-off request on their mobile or stationary device.

Managers can see vacation requests in their system and can accept or deny them in a moment. They can also download the request if needed.

Time-off request and various types of absenteeism
