time off management

Manage `Time Off` and Resources In One Place

Vacation? Sabbatical? Someone out sick? Productive keeps requests, approvals, and balances in one system, right next to your projects and your resourcing schedule.

`Approve Time Off Once`, And You’re Done

Don’t waste your time matching data between disconnected tools. With Productive, everything lives in the same system, so you don’t have to do the same thing twice.

Approvals, With Less Admin

Requests go straight to the right approver(s), the way you set it up. No follow-up emails or pings needed.

Plan Around Real Availability

Approved time off updates availability immediately, so capacity, utilization, and your resource plan reflect reality.

Keep Everyone in the Loop

Employees see and get notified on their approval status: what’s pending, what’s confirmed, and what’s rejected.

From Approved Request, `Into the Resource Schedule`

01 - absence categories & Allowances

Assign Absences Tailored to Your Business

Create fully customizable absence categories with their specific allowances in days: paid vacation, half-days, unpaid leave, parental leave. Allocate it across employees so everyone has the right setup.

02 - time off approvals

Manage Approvals With the Full Picture

Every request lands in the approver's in-app inbox, and shows up in the Resource Planner as an unconfirmed booking — so you can see the entire plan before you sign off.

Productive allows us to plan ahead and assemble the right team for each project, based onskills, experience, and availability, while tracking performance as we go. If something changes mid-production, we can quickly reallocate resources or update timelines.

MONOGRID

That’s a key thing that we get out of the reports that really feeds into our utilization and resourcing. If we know we’re doing 30% on internal projects, then we know we’ve got the capacity to take on more client work.

03 - availability & utilization

Get Quick Insights into Who’s Off, and Who’s Available

Once a request is approved, it becomes confirmed in your scheduling. Availability drops, utilization adjusts, and anyone scheduling work will be alerted of potential conflicts, so they can be resolved in time.

Delegate Resourcing to `Agents`, Consider It Done.

Agents are your custom-built, virtual assistants. Give them instructions and let them handle the repetitive tasks, so you can focus on work that brings value.
