For people managers

Approve in seconds. Know your team at a glance.

You approve leave without knowing the balance, find out someone is off when they are, and discover a claim after it was paid. ZekoHR puts the balance, the calendar and the claim in front of you before you decide.

Up to 50 employees free for 12 months. No card, no sales call.

The manager reality

What you decide blind

Leave without context

A request arrives on chat. Does she have balance? Who else is off? In ZekoHR the balance shows on the request and the team calendar is a click away; approve or reject with a note.

Claims you find out about later

Expense claims route to you by rule, with the receipt attached. Approve, reject with a reason, or delegate while you are away.

Your team, scattered

Who reports to you, who is new, whose anniversary is today. The directory, the dashboard and the celebrations widget keep it in view.

Why managers like it

The decision and the context, together

Approvals land in one page with a sidebar badge. Leave requests show the balance and attachments; expense claims show line items and receipts. Interviews you sit on appear under your interviews with the scorecard to fill in. Everything else stays out of your way.

  • Leave and expense approvals with the context on the request
  • Team calendar and who-is-out on the dashboard
  • Scorecards for interviews you are on, before the debrief
  • Kudos to your team from the feed, tied to company values

How teams use it

What a manager actually does in it

Approve

Open Approvals, see the balance and the calendar, decide, add a note. Done in the time it took to read the chat message.

Look

Check the team calendar before committing to a deadline. See new joiners and anniversaries on the dashboard.

Record

Keep two-line 1:1 notes somewhere both of you can see them. In April the review writes itself.

Honest fit

When ZekoHR is not the right choice

You want goals, reviews or 1:1 tools inside the HRMS

There is no performance module and no 1:1 tracker. Our blog has a template; the notes live in your own document.

You want to see your team's salaries

Managers do not see payroll unless given a payroll permission. That is deliberate.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I see my team's leave balances?

Yes. Balances show on each request and on the team members' records you have permission to view.

Can I delegate approvals while I am on leave?

Expense approvals support delegation. For leave, HR can approve or override in your absence.

Do I get notified?

Yes. In-app notifications and email, with preferences per event type. Security-critical messages are always delivered.

Can I give kudos to someone outside my team?

Yes. Kudos are company-wide on the feed, tied to the values your company sets, with a leaderboard.
