Leave and expenses
Approve leave and expenses without chasing anyone.
Every request lands in one queue with the balance it would leave, and goes to the line manager or to HR. People can file and approve from Slack too.
Manager queue
Waiting on you
A manager's queue: four requests from their direct reports.
Leave types and balances
Your leave types, not ours.
Annual, sick and compassionate are a starting point. Each type carries its own entitlement, and each person sees a balance per type.
From Slack
File and approve leave without leaving Slack.
Type /luwawa leave to request time off. The manager approves it in Slack, and an expense claim opens as a form there too.
Everything lands in the same queue, with the same balance, whichever way it came in.
Expense claims
A claim, a receipt, and a separate payout.
Claims run the same approval as leave, with the receipt kept on the claim. Approved is not paid: HR marks a claim paid separately, so nobody assumes the money arrived.
One approval chain
Approval follows the manager, not the department.
Every request goes to the person's line manager. Anyone without a manager routes to HR. HR admins can approve, decline or reverse any request, and every override is recorded with who did it and when.
Not yet
What Leave and expenses does not do today.
- No team leave calendar. Requests show balances and go to one approval queue.
- One approver per request. No multi-step chains such as manager then finance.
- Luwawa does not send the money for an expense. HR pays it, then marks it paid.
