Check the available leave balance.
05 / Absence / ORBIT FEATURES
Leave management with direct-manager approvals
Orbit brings leave balances, policy, requests, and decisions into the same workforce workspace. Employees see what is available and what they have requested; linked direct managers review requests from the people who report to them.
AN EXAMPLE WORKFLOW
What this looks like in Orbit
An employee checks their balance, enters a leave request, and follows its status in request history. A direct manager sees the team approval queue and records a decision. A post-approved callout flow supports time away reported after the fact.
THE WORKFLOW
