Your names. Categories a report can read.

You own the name, the colour, whether it needs approval, and how much colleagues see. LadderHub owns the category — so three countries with three different names still roll into one number.

  • Four platform categories — vacation, sick, parental, other — behind your own names
  • Approval per type: manager review, or granted automatically
  • Sick leave never shows details — health data is treated as health data
  • Types are archived, never deleted, once a policy has granted them

Terms are dated, not overwritten

Every set of numbers is a version with an effective date. Next year's allowance can be entered today, and a balance worked out last year can still be explained by the numbers that were in force then.

  • Leave the date alone to correct today's terms; move it forward to file the next set
  • Backdating allowed — a policy mis-entered in March is fixable as of March
  • Assignments are dated too — joining, moving, and leaving a policy all have a day
  • Every change lands in the audit log with who made it and when

Request, approve, and know the balance

Requests land in the same inbox as achievement approvals and check-ins — one queue for a manager, not another tool to remember.

  • Book from the calendar; the balance updates the moment it's approved
  • Available, taken, and pending shown per entitlement, per cycle
  • Team calendar shows who's away — with only what the type allows
  • Types set to automatic skip approval entirely and just get recorded
