The leave side of your HR stack
Leave management software for small and growing teams
Absence and leave management that does one thing brilliantly — so the time-off part of HR isn't a spreadsheet bolted onto everything else.
Leave management software handles the requests, approvals, balances, accruals and public holidays that make tracking time off surprisingly fiddly. Absenca focuses on exactly that — and nothing it doesn't need to — so it's quick to set up, easy to use, and accurate by default.
It isn't a full HR suite with payroll and applicant tracking, and that's the point: it's the dedicated leave and absence layer that does the job better than a general HR tool's afterthought module, and works happily alongside whatever HRIS you already have.
Leave calendar & approvals
A shared team calendar and one-click approvals from web, email, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
Policies, accruals & carry-over
Per-office leave years, accrual rules, carry-over caps, seniority entitlements and blackout periods — applied automatically.
Absence analytics
Bradford Factor scoring, utilisation and trends, with CSV export and scheduled reports — not just a calendar.
Integrations & holidays
Slack, Teams, Google and Outlook calendar sync, plus public holidays for 190+ countries per office.
Leave management, not a bloated HR suite
General HR platforms try to do everything — payroll, onboarding, performance — and leave is usually a basic add-on. Absenca does leave and absence properly: the policies, accruals and edge cases that those add-ons fumble, handled correctly and visibly.
That focus is why a small team can be up and running in an afternoon, without an implementation project.
Works alongside your HR software
Already using a broader HR system? Absenca complements it. Use it as the leave and absence tracker your managers actually open, export data when you need it, and keep your HRIS for the rest. For a head-to-head of the options, see our roundup of the best leave management software.

Frequently asked questions
- What is leave management software?
- Leave management software records and manages employee absences — requests, approvals, balances, accruals and public holidays — so time off is tracked accurately and managers have visibility, replacing spreadsheets and email threads.
- Is Absenca HR software?
- Absenca is dedicated leave and absence management software — the time-off part of HR — rather than a full HRIS with payroll and recruiting. It does that one job thoroughly and works alongside any HR system you already use.
- Does it replace my HRIS like BambooHR?
- It replaces the leave-tracking part. Many teams run Absenca for absence management and keep a broader HR tool (or nothing) for the rest — it's designed to complement, not duplicate, a full HRIS.
- How much does it cost?
- Free for up to 15 people, then a flat $0.75 per user per month.
