Leave that runs itself

Most tools stop at apply and approve, which leaves the hard part — balances — to a spreadsheet somebody updates in January. duduHR automates the whole lifecycle: accrual, proration, carry-forward, lapse and encashment, with every rule configurable per organisation.

Every rule is your rule

Each leave type carries its own configuration: accrual rate and cap, carry-forward limit, eligibility, notice period, maximum consecutive days and whether negative balances are permitted. Two organisations on duduHR can run entirely different leave policies without either one being a special case — nothing here is hardcoded to one company's handbook.

Balances that top themselves up

Accrual runs automatically on your cycle — monthly, quarterly or annual — and every credit is written to an accrual log, so a balance is never an unexplained number. Opt in per organisation; if you prefer annual grants, keep them.

Carry-forward, lapse and fair proration

Unused leave carries into the next cycle up to your cap and the remainder lapses automatically on your cycle date, whether that is the calendar year or a fiscal year starting in April. New joiners open with a prorated balance based on their joining date rather than starting at zero or being handed a full year on day one.

Half-days, floaters and a calendar people actually use

Leave is tracked to the first-half and second-half session, so two employees taking opposite halves of the same day is not a false clash. Floater holidays let people choose the festivals that matter to them from a list you define. The team calendar overlays leave types, holidays and weekends across the month so approvers can see coverage before saying yes.

Encashment that lands on the payslip

Pay out unused leave in a click. The encashment flows into payroll as an earning and is marked paid when the run is finalised — no parallel tracker, no reconciliation at year end.

Frequently asked questions

Can different employees have different leave policies?

Yes. Leave types and their rules are defined per organisation, and eligibility settings control who a given type applies to.

Does our leave year have to be the calendar year?

No. The cycle is configurable, so a financial year beginning in April is supported directly — carry-forward and lapse follow whichever date you set.

What happens to unused leave at year end?

Whatever your policy says. Balances carry forward up to your cap, the excess lapses automatically, and anything you choose to encash flows to payroll as an earning.

Do approvals support more than one level?

Yes, multi-level approvals are supported, and reporting relationships including secondary managers are respected when routing requests.
