LeaveWerk · leavewerk.edelware.ch
Time off, approved by the right people — without leaving Slack.
Book leave in a message. It routes through your real approval chain, in order. Exports land aligned to your pay periods.
The wedge: approvals that match how you actually work
Most chat-native trackers stop at one approver, or bolt approvals onto a web app you'll never open. LeaveWerk does genuine multi-level chains — level by level, any one approver per level advances it — and freezes the chain at the moment of request, so later org changes never rewrite history.
N-level approval chains
Manager → department head → HR, or whatever your org needs. Each level is a group; any one member can approve.
Payroll-aligned exports
Export approved leave clipped to a pay period — CSV or XLSX — with half-days handled correctly at the boundaries. Hand it straight to payroll.
Chat-native, not chat-bolted-on
Request, approve, and check balances where your team already is. No new tab, no seat you forget you're paying for.
No lock-in
One click exports everything and an import round-trips it. Trying is safe because leaving is free.
How it works
- Install to Slack and import your people and leave types from a spreadsheet.
- Set an approval chain — one level or five — and assign it to teams or individuals.
- Anyone requests leave with a slash command; it routes to the right approvers in order.
- At payroll time, export the pay period as CSV or XLSX. Done.
Pricing
$2 per user / month. Free forever for teams of 5 or fewer. 30-day trial on paid. No per-seat minimum, no "contact sales."
Common questions
Why not a shared spreadsheet or calendar?
They don't route approvals, they don't compute a clean payroll export, and they don't stop two people booking the same critical week. LeaveWerk does.
We already have HR software.
Great — many teams don't, or theirs makes leave a fifteen-click chore. LeaveWerk is the light layer people actually use, and you can export to feed anything else.
