Worknice leave app
Getting Started
The Worknice Leave app is not activated by default. You can add it anytime from the App Directory.
The Leave app is considered an integration. Employees must be matched to this integration in order to use its features.
What is the Worknice Leave App?
The Worknice Leave app is a simple, modern leave management solution. It’s ideal if your payroll platform isn’t integrated with Worknice for leave requests, but you still want to manage leave requests in one place.
The Worknice leave app integrates into the same features as payroll leave integrations, including;
Employee Self-Service Leave Requests
Allow selected employees to request leave directly in Worknice.
Request elements include:
Leave type selection
Additional notes
Start and end dates
Attachments (e.g., medical certificates)
Leave approvals (optional enforcement for all requests)
Configurable options:
Start and end time (optional)
Leave hour total (optional)
Organisation-Wide Leave Management
Easily review all leave requests across the organisation (past and future) in the Leave section of the left-hand menu.
Account Owners and Employees can also view their own individual leave requests (past and future) under the Leave tab in their personal profile.
Organisation-Wide Leave Calendar
Increase transparency and planning efficiency with a centralised calendar that displays all approved employee leave.
Overlapping leave requests are highlighted to support better workforce planning.
Export Leave Requests
Export all organisation-wide leave requests (past and future) directly from the Leave section of the left-hand menu.
Simply click the Download button to export.
Adding Employees to the Leave App
To enable employees for the Leave app:
Go to the Admin > People page
Select the employees you want to add
Use the Add to Integration bulk action and choose Worknice Leave
Matching Existing Employees
When setting up the integration, you’ll see a list of “Remote Records” (employees from your connected platform). You can match these to existing employees in Worknice:
Next to the employee, click Connect > Connect to an Existing Person
Find the matching person in your Worknice directory (names do not need to be identical)
The connection status updates to Matched (pending)
Repeat for additional employees
Click Sync to start the data flow. The status will update to Matched
Configuring Leave Types
Go to Apps and Integrations from the left-hand menu
Open the Worknice Leave app
Click Open App
Configure leave types as needed
You’re All Set! 🎉
That’s it! Your Worknice Leave app is ready to go.
