Hubb People · Leave & Absence

Leave that does its own arithmetic

Balances pro-rated to the day someone joined, approvals a manager handles from their inbox, a team calendar that warns before you double-book the same week off — and a Bradford factor nobody had to compute in a spreadsheet.

Types & balances

Regional defaults, pro-rata to the day

Set up leave once and it behaves like it read the labour law — because the defaults did.
  • UAE and UK leave types ship pre-configured — annual, sick, unpaid and more, with the right statutory defaults
  • Join in March, get March-onwards: balances pro-rate automatically for mid-year starters
  • Carry-over rules per type, applied at year end without anyone touching a spreadsheet
  • Public holidays for your region baked into every balance and every request

Pro-rata balances, manager approvals by email, public holidays baked in — and overlap warnings before you say yes.

Approvals

Approved from the manager's inbox, warned before it clashes

The manager sees the clash before saying yes, not on the Monday both engineers are on a beach.
  • The request lands in the manager's email — approve or decline without logging in
  • Overlap warnings show who else from the team is already off those dates
  • Approved leave appears on the team calendar instantly, for everyone
  • Declines carry a reason back to the requester, so nobody chases HR for the why

Absence & Bradford

The absence pattern you'd otherwise miss

Nine single Mondays and one nine-day flu look identical in a totals column. Bradford tells them apart — and Hubb keeps it current without anyone doing the maths.
  • Every sickness absence logged with dates, reason and return-to-work notes
  • The Bradford factor computed continuously: frequent short spells score worse than one long one
  • Banded thresholds — fine, watch, act — so HR knows where to look first
  • The score sits on the employee's dashboard, in context with everything else

Spells² × days — nine Mondays score far worse than one bad fortnight, which is exactly the point.
