Pause: Leave management

Pause is an easy-to-use, culture focussed tool that helps teams get healthier, happier and more efficient by taking the time-off that they deserve.

With its Desktop and Mobile app along with a robust Slack integration, Pause works where you do and eliminates the need to rely on manual paperwork. It keeps team availability and employee leaves transparent and up-to-date.

**Your team will love it because it:**

- simplifies application and approval processes and encourages time-off
- increases transparency and enables better decision making
- allows informed capacity and team planning
- elevates team culture and employee health

**How do we do it?**

*Book leaves from anywhere, at anytime*

Use Pause on Desktop, Mobile or your favourite chat app, Slack, as per your convenience.

*Approve leaves from anywhere, at anytime*

Never miss a beat. Use Pause on Desktop, mobile or Slack depending on where you are.

*Enable requests for comp-off easily and effectively*

Nothing complicated, Nothing tedious. Teammates can now easily request time-off for work done overtime.

*Access to leave balance wherever, whenever*

Teammates can access their leave balance wherever (desktop, mobile, Slack) and when they need it most (while booking leaves).

*Access to leave policies & public holiday calendars*

Teammates have complete access to the up-to-date leave policy, so they know what they’re entitled to.

*Be mindful of teammates’ leaves while booking your own*

View conflicts with other teammates when applying for leaves to prevent roadblocks, so that people can take leaves stress-free.

*View other people’s leaves on your calendar app*

Align easily and plan better by viewing upcoming leaves on your calendar. Subscribe to your team’s calendar to view upcoming leaves on your favourite calendar app.

*Overview of your team’s leaves, wherever you are*

View a snapshot of upcoming leaves in your team from wherever you choose — Slack or the Pause website.

*Multi-view support to help you plan in the way that works for you*

Everyone plans differently. This is why we have a calendar view and timeline view so that you can pick one that works for you.

*Lock critical dates for when you need all hands on deck*

Our lock dates feature prevents people from booking leaves on specific dates that are decided by you.

*Custom work weeks and team approvers visible to everyone*

Different teams working different hours? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Make collaboration easy by viewing different work weeks across teams.

*Clearly communicate the number of leaves available*

Set defined allowances to help your team know how many leaves they are entitled to.

Offer unlimited leaves for life events like maternity, paternity and burn-out to encourage a good balance.

*Create unlimited leaves for employees’ life events*

Enable employees to take time off without the worry of a limit to encourage a better work-life balance and prevent burnout

*Inspire trust amongst employees with leaves that don’t need approval*

Not all leave types might require an approval. Pause allows you to customise for this so that your employees know you trust them.

*Create multiple Public Holiday calendars for distributed teams*

Pause allows you to custom create holiday calendars based on location. This is perfect if you have teams across cities, states and countries.

Choose how you distribute leaves to teams

Not all teams work the same way. Create the perfect leave policy with a combination of leaves that accrue yearly or monthly. Allow unused leaves to carry forward.

Pause makes leave management as easy as messaging. It grows with your organisation and puts your employees first.
