Track team time off without spreadsheets.
Cala HQ gives small teams one clear place to request, approve, and see time off, without turning leave management into a full HR project.
Free for up to 5 users. No credit card required.
Time off gets messy when it lives everywhere.
Small teams often start with simple tools. Then requests, approvals, and balances spread across chats, calendars, and a patchy leave management software process.
Requests get buried
A quick message about Friday off disappears under daily work, and nobody knows whether it was approved.
Spreadsheets break
Manual formulas, copied rows, and unclear ownership make balances hard to trust.
Calendars miss context
A calendar event can show someone is away, but not the policy, balance, approval, or local holiday detail.
One shared time-off tracker for the whole team.
Cala HQ keeps the daily workflow simple: employees request time off, managers approve it, and everyone can see who is away in one employee leave calendar.
- Shared calendar for vacation, sick leave, personal days, and public holidays
- Simple approval flow without chasing messages
- Balances and leave records kept in one organized workspace
- Built for owner-led teams that do not need a bulky HR suite
Try it with your team for free.
Create a workspace, invite a few people, and see whether Cala HQ is clearer than your current spreadsheet or chat workflow.
A time-off tracker should make every absence obvious.
The value is not another admin system. It is fewer interruptions, fewer conflicts, and a calendar everyone can trust, with your public holiday calendar context in the same place.
Fewer interruptions
People can check the calendar instead of asking who is off, how long, or whether a request was approved.
Clear approvals
Requests have a status, a manager, and a record, so decisions do not disappear into chat threads.
Trusted balances
Allowances, carry-overs, and taken days stay connected to the policy instead of living in fragile formulas.
Local holidays included
Country-specific holidays sit beside team leave, so planning works even when your team is spread out.
Everything a practical time-off tracker needs.
Enough structure to stay organized, without dragging your team into an enterprise HR system.
Manager approvals
Route time-off requests to the right person and keep decisions visible.
Local holidays
Show public holidays by country so distributed teams can plan around real availability.
Flexible policies
Support fixed, accrued, carry-over, and unlimited leave policies as your team grows.
Start free, then grow when your team does.
Cala HQ is free for up to 5 users. Paid plans keep the same core time-off tracking features, so you are not choosing between essential tools.
