Holiday requests, sorted in one click.
No more spreadsheets or wall charts. Staff book time off from their phones, you approve it in a click, and their shifts and allowance update themselves.
Leave rules handled for you
Book from any phone
Whole days or hours in the app, half days on the website. Staff can change a waiting request or cancel one themselves.
Shifts cleared on approval
Approving holiday takes the person off their shifts in that period automatically, so the gaps show on the rota straight away.
See what it affects
When leave is booked on the website, WfMHub lists the shifts it would affect before the request goes in.
Pro-rata allowances
Entitlements are pro-rated by start and end date, counted in days or hours, with your own leave year.
Carry-over & year end
Set carry-over limits per leave type and run the year end in one go.
UK bank holidays
England and Wales bank holidays come straight from gov.uk, with the option to deduct them from allowances.
Time off in lieu
Your own TOIL rules: earn rate, minimum, rounding, maximum balance and expiry. TOIL is used first when leave is approved.
Blackout dates & notice
Block busy periods and set minimum notice per leave type, enforced automatically.
Team calendar & liability
See who's off on one calendar, and the value of untaken holiday in the liability report.

Competitor information comes from each vendor's own website, help centre and price pages, checked on 19/10/2026. Prices are in pounds sterling, excluding VAT; where a vendor only publishes US dollars we converted at the rate shown on its page. "Not published" means we couldn't confirm it either way. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we'll correct it. Full sources are listed on each comparison page.
