How it works
We built Spock because we firmly believe in bringing clarity, transparency and trust into leave management.
Spock integrates with Slack.
Request, manage and track leave, approve requests, check absences, stay up-to-date on leave balances. Spock helps you to get transparency and a clear overview of attendance within your company.

Request time-off effortlessly.
Requesting leave takes just a few seconds and has never been easier. To get started, enter your leave data, and Spock will notify your team, ask your manager(s) for approval and recalculate your balance. All that at the click of a button!
Build a Leave Policy That Fits Your Team.
Every company is different. Your leave policy should reflect that. With Spock, you can tailor time off settings to match your culture, workflows, and operational needs.
For each leave type, you can customize:
- Approval Requirements
- Choose whether leave requests need manager approval.
- Annual Allowance
- Set how much leave employees receive each year.
- Allowance Overruns
- Decide if employees can exceed their annual allowance.
- Hourly & Half Day Tracking
- Allow leave to be tracked in hours or half days, not just full days.
- Use Discreet Name
- Activate a neutral label for sensitive leave types to protect employee privacy.
- Substitute Handling
- Assign team members to cover while someone is away.
- Carryover Rules
- Choose whether unused days roll over into the next year.
- Monthly Limits
- Set how many leave days an employee can take in a single month.
- Calendar Colors
- Customize how each leave type appears on the calendar.
- Slack Status Update
- Define a custom status that automatically shows in Slack when someone is on leave.
Approvals.
Easily set up a streamlined approval workflow for your team. Spock automatically identifies and notifies the right manager(s) based on your company's structure. When an employee requests leave, their manager receives an instant notification. With just one click, your request can be approved, and even a kind message can be added.
Accruals.
Not every team grants a full year of leave on day one. With Spock, balances grow as people earn them, by month, week or year, so time off reflects real time worked. Set the rules once, and Spock keeps every employee's balance accurate, automatically.
