Leave Management — 100% BCEA Compliant, Syncs to Google Calendar
No more spreadsheets for tracking leave. Synthro automatically calculates BCEA-compliant leave balances, handles manager approvals in 5 seconds, and syncs every approved leave directly to Google Calendar — so your team always sees who is on leave and when.
How It Works in 4 Steps
- Step 1 (10 seconds): Employee taps "Request Leave" on phone, selects dates and leave type. System auto-checks their balance.
- Step 2 (5 seconds): Manager gets push notification, sees request + team calendar, taps Approve.
- Step 3 (instant): Approved leave automatically appears in Google Calendar — employee name, leave type, and dates visible to the whole team. No manual invites.
- Step 4 (automatic): Leave balance updated, CCMA-ready audit trail created, confirmation sent. Zero manual work.

Google Calendar Integration
Connect Google Workspace once. After that, every approved leave request automatically creates a Google Calendar event showing who is on leave, the leave type, and the exact dates. Cancellations and rejections update the calendar too. Managers can see team coverage at a glance before scheduling meetings or approving new requests.
