Best Leave Management System
Deciding on the best leave management system rarely comes down to the demo, because every product handles the simple case well.

Leave taken at half pay where an award allows it. A public holiday falling inside a period of annual leave. Cashing out annual leave, and the conditions attached to it.
Then ask what happens when a mistake is found. Can a historical balance be corrected, is the correction recorded, and can you still show what the figure was before.
That last answer is the one that separates the serious products from the ones that are really shared calendars with a login.
The Fair Work Ombudsman publishes the entitlements. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
