Leave requests

A leave request form your team can fill in from their phone.

Upload your own leave form. Employees fill it in on WhatsApp, and you email each approver a one-time link.

Upload a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file. Companion reads it and drafts the lesson or form for you to review.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your leave request form

    Add the Word or PDF form you already use. Companion reads its fields, choices and approval steps into a draft digital form that you review.

  2. 2

    Publish it

    When the fields look right, publish the form. Employees only see it once you do.

  3. 3

    Employees request leave on WhatsApp

    They answer one question at a time. Typos and everyday dates such as 'next Monday' are understood, and a recap lets them correct any line.

    Approvers decide by email

    You name the approvers and send each one a single-use link. They see the whole request and approve or refuse, with a comment.

What a leave request form should include

The fields most businesses need.

  • Name, role and site.
  • Type of leave: annual, sick, unpaid, special or time off in lieu.
  • First day, last day and the return date.
  • Working days, so the balance can be checked.
  • Who covers the work, and how to reach them.
  • The approver, a decision and a comment.

Questions

Can I use my own leave request form?

Yes. Upload it and a draft digital version is created from it. You review it before publishing.

Does the request go to the next approver automatically?

Not yet. You send the email to each approver, one level at a time.

Does this replace our HR system?

No. It collects and routes requests. Whether it should feed your official record is a decision for your HR team.

See it on your own documents.

Start a workspace, upload one document, and try the lesson yourself on WhatsApp.
