Attendance and Leave Management, Next to the Work
Track who is working, who is on leave, and who is available, in the same tool your projects run in. Approved leave updates your resource plans automatically.
Available in the Self-Hosted edition - runs on your own servers
This capability is available in the Self-Hosted (on-premise) edition. It is not part of the Cloud edition today.
What is attendance and leave management?
Attendance and leave management is how a team records working hours, time off, and availability. Orangescrum keeps this in the same place as your projects, so when someone books leave, their availability changes in your resource planning and sprint capacity instead of sitting in a separate HR tool nobody in delivery can see.
Why availability is always wrong
Attendance, leave, and availability in one place
Clock in and clock out
People record when they start and finish, giving you an accurate attendance record instead of estimates.
Leave management
Staff request leave, managers approve it, and the calendar updates for everyone who needs to know.
Multi level approval
Route leave requests through more than one approver where your policy needs it.
Holiday calendar
Set company and regional holidays so they are excluded from working days and planning.
Work location logging
Record where people are working from, with geo fencing available for on site teams.
Team attendance grid
See the whole team's attendance and leave in one grid, so you know today's real capacity.
Reminders and escalation
Automatic reminders chase missing clock ins and approvals that have been sitting too long.
Feeds resource planning
Approved leave reduces that person's availability, so your capacity numbers stay honest.

Attendance and Leave FAQ
What is Orangescrum Attendance and Leave?
It is a module for tracking working time and time off inside Orangescrum. People clock in and out, request leave, and managers approve it. Approved leave then updates that person's availability for project planning.
Which edition includes it?
Attendance and Leave is available in the Orangescrum Self-Hosted edition. It is not part of the Cloud edition today.
Does leave affect project planning?
Yes, and this is the main reason to keep it in the same tool. When leave is approved, the person's availability drops, so resource planning and sprint capacity show the real number of working days you have.
Can approvals go through more than one manager?
Yes. You can set up multi level approval so a request passes through each approver your policy requires before it is confirmed.
Can we track where people work from?
Yes. You can log work location, and geo fencing is available for teams who need to confirm attendance at a specific site.
Does it handle public holidays?
Yes. You set a holiday calendar, and those days are treated as non working days in planning and in leave calculations.
What happens if someone forgets to clock in?
Automatic reminders chase missing clock ins, and approvals that have been waiting too long can be escalated.
Is this a full HR system?
No. It covers attendance, leave, and availability for project delivery. It is designed to keep project capacity accurate, not to replace payroll or a complete HR suite.
