The time off feature in BusyBusy allows companies to manage and track employee leave including vacation, sick time, holidays, and more.
Admins now have more control and customization options than ever before. You can:
Enable or disable standard time-off types.
Create up to five custom time-off categories.
Choose whether your company supports Paid, Unpaid, or both.
Ensure unpaid requests always include total hours for accurate reporting.
