Check whether the software fits your approval process, including the number of approval levels you need. A clear workflow can help staff and managers follow a request from submission to decision.
How does it handle accruals and holidays?
Compare how a tool handles leave accrual and holiday calendars. These settings affect how employees’ time off is tracked and which holidays the system recognizes.

Does it connect to payroll and employee self-service?
Check that payroll integrations and employee self-service suit how your team manages leave. They are distinct comparison points, so verify the specific support you need before choosing.
