Changelog

👥 New:Employee Relations Tab

We have added a new Relations tab to the Employee Details page.

The new tab shows:

• who approves leave requests for this employee,
• and which employees this person can approve leave for.

It provides a clear overview of approval relationships, making it much easier to understand your approval structure.

This is especially useful for larger organisations with department managers, direct managers, secondary supervisors, and two-tier approval policies.

📅:Smarter Leave Date Picker

We have improved the date picker in the New Leave Request form.

The calendar now displays all of the employee’s existing leave bookings, making it easy to see which dates are already taken before submitting a new request.

This helps employees avoid accidental overlaps and makes planning future leave quicker and more convenient.

📋 :Improved Leave List in My Calendar

We have improved the leave list in My Calendar.

The list now includes pagination, making it easier to browse leave records when an employee has a long history.

Employees can also choose whether to show or hide declined and cancelled requests.

This keeps the list cleaner while still making older or unsuccessful requests easy to find when needed.

📅 :Faster Bank Holiday and Blackout Entry

We’ve made it quicker to add bank holidays and blackout dates.

When creating a new bank holiday or blackout, simply click a date on the calendar. The add form will open automatically with the selected date already filled in.

It’s a small improvement, but one that makes managing your company calendar faster and more convenient.

🔒 New:Improved Access to Reports Policy

We have improved the Access to report policy to make privacy rules consistent across the system.

Leave types marked as hidden are no longer visible to users who only have access through a Leave Report policy.

Hidden leave remains visible only to managers and administrators, ensuring sensitive leave information is protected while maintaining the same privacy rules throughout TimeOff.Management.

🔄 New:Rolling Leave Types

We have released a major new feature: Rolling Leave Types.

You can now create leave types with a rolling time window and a maximum allowance. TimeOff.Management checks the selected rolling period and makes sure the employee cannot exceed the configured limit within that moving window.

This is ideal for leave policies such as FMLA, PFL, DBL, parental leave, or any policy that uses a rolling entitlement instead of a calendar or company year.

Rolling leave types can also be configured to overlap with other selected leave types. For example, an employee can be on Sick Leave and Protected Leave at the same time, allowing both leave types to be tracked correctly without preventing the overlap.

This feature gives organisations much greater flexibility when managing statutory and company-specific leave policies.

✅ More Flexible Two-Tier Approval

We have improved the Two-Tier Approval policy.

You can now set the employee’s direct manager as the first approval step, followed by HR or another selected user as the second approval step.

This gives companies more control over approval flows while keeping the process clear and easy to follow.

💬 Approval Comments on Pending Requests

We have improved the approve and decline with comment functionality.

Managers and admins can now add comments when approving or declining any incoming pending request, not only when editing the request.

This makes it easier to keep the reason for each decision clear and visible, without extra steps.

🚦 More Flexible Leave Overlap Policy

We have significantly improved the Restricted Leave Overlap policy.

Previously, you could only allow one employee to be off or require one employee to remain at work.

You can now define exactly how many employees can be away or how many must remain at work, making the policy much more flexible for teams of all sizes.

As before, the policy can be applied to selected leave types and specific groups of employees, helping you maintain the right staffing levels while giving employees the flexibility to request leave.

Stability & Performance Improvements

After delivering a large number of new features over the past few weeks, we spent this week focusing on stability, reliability, and performance.

We’ve made a number of improvements across the platform, with the biggest gains in Team View. For larger accounts, some operations are now up to an order of magnitude faster, making the application feel much more responsive.

A big thank you to all of our customers for your continued feedback. Your suggestions help us shape TimeOff.Management and improve it every week.
