Calm Leave
Leave management your team will actually love.
Calm Leave is a product by Ahmed Samy, specced, designed, built, tested and shipped end to end.
I once had a vacation request lost in an email thread. Not rejected. Lost. Asking for time off should not require the persistence of a debt collector. So rules check themselves as you fill the form, squads approve before HR, and an approval stays frozen to the policy it was granted under.
Rules that check themselves.
Notice period, balance, blackout dates and overlaps show pass or fail while you type. Squads approve before HR, on-call shifts stay covered, and an approval stays frozen to the policy it was granted under. Thirteen languages, right to left included.
In numbers
- 13 languages, 3 RTL
- 4 things it tracks: leave, on-call, swaps, extra hours
- Frozen an approval keeps the policy it was granted under
