Why it matters

Leave belongs on the rota, not in someone’s inbox

When holiday requests live in emails and spreadsheets, managers spot the gaps too late, and last-minute cover is always the expensive kind.

Rotageek keeps requests, approvals and absence in the same place as the schedule, so cover is planned around time off from the start rather than patched together afterwards.

  • Employees request leave in the app in a few taps
  • Managers see the impact on cover before they approve anything
  • Track sickness and absence across every site in one view

Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most, and the part of the platform that fixes each one.

  • “Holiday requests arrive by text, email and in person”

    Holiday requests →

  • “We approve leave without seeing the cover gap”

    Scheduling →

  • “Sickness is hard to record and harder to report on”

    Absence management →

  • “Employees can't see their own balances”

    Employee app →

Everything you need to get leave and absence right

From the request to the reported absence.

  • Holiday requests

    Staff request annual leave and check their balance in the Rotageek app, managers approve it in one place, and approved leave shows on the rota.

    Explore Holiday requests →

  • Absence management

    Rotageek's absence management software lets you record sickness against the rota, offer the shift to your team and send absence straight through to payroll.
