Time off
The Time Off app manages employee leave — annual leave, sick days, parental leave, anything you track centrally.
Leave types
Configure per Bulgarian labour law:
| Type | Standard Bulgarian allocation |
|---|---|
| Annual leave (Платен годишен отпуск) | 20 working days/year (minimum) |
| Sick leave (Болничен) | As certified by a doctor |
| Maternity / parental | Per the Bulgarian Labour Code |
| Unpaid leave (Неплатен отпуск) | Negotiated case-by-case |
| Compensatory time off | For overtime worked |
| Bereavement | Typically 2 days |
| Marriage | Typically 2 days |
Configure in Time Off → Configuration → Leave Types. Each type has its own approval rules and validity.
Requesting time off
The employee self-service flow:
- Time Off app → New Time Off Request
- Pick type + dates + duration
- Optional: attach supporting document (sick note)
- Submit
The request appears on the employee's manager's queue. The manager approves or rejects, with a comment.
Once approved:
- The dates appear on the team calendar
- The employee's annual leave balance decreases
- The timesheet system blocks logging hours on those days (sanity check)
- Payroll knows about it for the next pay run
Allocations
For annual leave, allocate the year's entitlement at the start of the year:
Time Off → Allocations → Create:
- Employee
- Leave type
- Days (e.g. 20)
- Period (e.g. 2026)
Allocations can be:
- Manual — set yearly per employee
- Automated — based on tenure (1 day extra per year of service)
- Carry-over — unused days roll into next year (up to a cap)
Configure the carry-over policy per leave type.
Team calendar
Time Off → My Team Time Off shows a calendar grid of who's out when. Useful for project planning and avoiding "everyone on the team on holiday in week X" scenarios.
