Freshteam allows you to define your Time Off policy in terms of hours instead of days. This is useful if your company manages time-tracking in hours depending on the nature of your business or due to government compliances.
Note: Currently, employees can apply for hourly time off from the web application only. We would soon be introducing this capability through our mobile application as well.
