Leave Management for Interior Design Studios

Leave management lets staff apply for leave and managers approve it against the project calendar. Balances update on their own, so the studio keeps no separate register.

Applied for, approved, counted

Staff apply in the system, a manager approves, and the balance moves on its own without anyone updating a register by hand. No message gets lost. Balances are always on the record.

Approved with the week in view

What else is happening

The roster and the project dates sit beside the request, so a handover week or a client presentation is visible before anyone approves it.

Who else is away

Two supervisors on leave in the same week appear as a clash while the request is still pending.

The balance

Leave taken and leave remaining are kept per person, against the policy the studio has set.

The record

Who approved what, and when, is kept on the request, which helps when two people remember a conversation differently.

When leave affects a studio

  • A supervisor away during the week carpentry starts
  • A designer who owns three approvals a client is waiting on
  • Everybody wanting the same fortnight in October
  • Accounts on leave when milestone invoices fall due
  • Half the studio asking for the same Friday off

Clashes can still be approved

The clash is shown, and the decision stays with the manager. Nothing is blocked. Nothing is escalated. The system knows only the leave policy that someone entered into it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we set our own leave types?

Yes. Casual, sick and any other leave the studio grants are set up with yearly counts before go-live.

Does site labour apply for leave here?

No. Contract carpenters and painters are handled through the roster and paid for days worked. Leave applies to the staff the studio employs.

Can staff apply from a phone?

Yes. Staff apply and managers approve from a phone. Requests sent over WhatsApp instead have to be entered by someone in the studio.
