Absence costs UK employers billions every year. Most of the impact comes from short-term, frequent absences that go untracked until they become a serious problem.

Every feature included at £8 per user per month. No tiers, no add-on charges.
Automatically calculated for every employee. See scores on the dashboard, set trigger thresholds, and identify patterns of short-term absence before they become a problem.
Set custom thresholds for Bradford Factor scores, number of absences, or total days off. Managers receive automatic notifications when an employee hits a trigger point.
LeaveManager prompts managers to complete a return-to-work interview when an employee comes back from sick leave. Every record is stored and auditable.
See absence patterns across your organisation. Filter by department, team, or individual. Export reports for board meetings, HR reviews, or occupational health referrals.
Record fit note details, expiry dates, and any workplace adjustments recommended by the GP. Never lose track of when a fit note needs renewing.
HR managers see the whole organisation. Line managers see only their direct reports. Employees see only their own records. Role-based access keeps data secure.
When an employee calls in sick, record it in LeaveManager. The reason, dates, and any supporting documentation are stored against their profile. No more sticky notes or forgotten emails.
LeaveManager calculates the Bradford Factor automatically. Frequent short-term absences score higher than a single long absence, helping you identify employees who may need support or a formal conversation.
Set thresholds that align with your absence policy. When an employee crosses a threshold, their manager is notified. This ensures a consistent, fair approach across the whole organisation.
Return-to-work interviews, fit notes, and management actions are all recorded in LeaveManager. If a situation ever reaches a disciplinary or tribunal, you have a complete, timestamped record.
Many HR platforms treat absence tracking as an afterthought. LeaveManager is built around leave and absence management from the ground up, so every feature is designed with this workflow in mind.
£8 per user per month with everything included. Enterprise tools like Personio or HiBob charge 3x to 5x more. LeaveManager gives you the absence management tools you need without the enterprise price tag.
Sign up, add your team, and start using LeaveManager in minutes. There is no demo requirement, no onboarding project, and no minimum contract length.
Statutory sick pay thresholds, fit note tracking, Bradford Factor calculations, and return-to-work interviews are all included and configured for UK employment law.
