LeaveWizard review
A capable absence tracker for established teams that need structured approvals and allowance rules.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LeaveWizard is a paid, web-based leave and absence management platform for small businesses, SMEs and established teams that need more structure than a shared calendar. Employees can submit leave requests, check allowances and use self-service tools, while managers review availability and approve requests. The product also covers sickness, overtime, TOIL, carryover and custom leave types, with role-based event visibility and privacy modes for managing sensitive absence information.
Pricing is offered through a 30-day free trial and a paid plan named Tracked employees. The published plan shows £4.25 per month when billed annually, with employee leave and absence tracking, leave requests and approvals, overtime, TOIL and carryover support, a mobile app and public-holiday updates. The pricing page also states pricing from 43p per employee per month, so buyers should review the displayed amount and billing basis during signup. The feature set is suited to teams that need entitlement calculations, local holiday calendar updates, configurable approval workflows and reports rather than simple time-off requests.
Calendar and workplace integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, iCal, Google Workspace, Slack and Microsoft Teams. iCal feeds and calendar integrations help connect approved leave with existing schedules, while reports, notifications and absence insights support ongoing administration. LeaveWizard’s focus is broad within absence management, extending into work patterns, payroll-ready exports and TOIL recording. Teams wanting web and iOS access, structured leave rules and established approval processes should consider it; organisations requiring a free plan or a wider platform footprint may prefer a different tool.
