Time off and PTO
PTO is one of the cleanest parts of BambooHR, but accrual rules, holiday calendars and approval chains plateau quickly above 300 employees and don't model non-US leave policies well.

✕Reviewers at companies with 300+ employees consistently mention workflow limitations and missing approval chains as Bamboo struggles to scale beyond its SMB sweet spot.

We build leave management as plain Postgres tables: accrual policies as code, multi-jurisdiction bank holiday calendars seeded from a real source, and approval chains that branch on department, location and tenure. Slack and Microsoft Teams approvals go through a small Inngest workflow, requests sync to Google Calendar both ways, and a Metabase dashboard shows liability per cost centre.
