Module · Time off & absence
Your own leave types, policies with dated terms, requests and balances, and holiday calendars that follow the office — across every country you employ in.
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.

Pay sits on the policy, not on the type. The same sick leave is 70% of wages in the Netherlands and unpaid in most of the United States — one platform has to hold both.
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.

Requests land in the same inbox as achievement approvals and check-ins — one queue for a manager, not another tool to remember.
A national catalog generates the public days for each country, year after year, without anyone maintaining them. Your own company days sit alongside.
