The Problem
Leave applications should not live in email
When staff email leave requests to HR, nothing is tracked. HR spends time searching inboxes instead of running the organization. Managers approve verbally and forget. FixDesk replaces all of that.
One place for all leave
Every leave application — past and present — is in one place. No inbox searching, no spreadsheet hunting.
Approvals with a record
Every approval and rejection is documented with a comment and timestamp. No more 'I thought you approved it'.
Balances that update themselves
HR no longer manually updates leave balance spreadsheets. Every approved leave updates the balance automatically.
How It Works
Apply, approve, track — in three steps
Staff
·Submits leave application
Selects leave type, dates, and adds any supporting notes. Takes under a minute through the web portal.
Line Manager
·Reviews and approves
Receives a notification, reviews the request, and approves or rejects with a comment — all without leaving the platform.
HR Admin
·Balance updates automatically
HR Admin sees the approved leave reflected in the staff member's balance immediately. No spreadsheet update required.
Capabilities
Everything HR and staff need
Online leave applications
Staff apply for any type of leave through the portal in under a minute — annual, sick, compassionate, or emergency.
Line manager approval
Applications route directly to the staff member's line manager, who can approve or reject with a comment — no email chain needed.
HR balance tracking
HR Admin sees live leave balances for every staff member across all leave types, without manually maintaining a spreadsheet.
Full application thread
Every leave request has a complete thread — submission, any comments, approval or rejection, and the reason. All timestamped.
Automatic notifications
The right people are notified at every step — when an application is submitted, when it is approved, and when it is rejected.
Multiple leave types
Configure and manage annual leave, sick leave, compassionate leave, emergency leave, and any other type your organization uses.
