Pros / Cons
  • Calamari.io is a solid solution for companies focused on leave and attendance management. While it’s not a full HR platform, it also delivers strong value for businesses that prioritize time-off tracking and team coordination.
  • In my opinion, this area is not very intuitive and quite complicated, especially with more complex rules (e.g. different types of contracts, proportional calculation, transfer of unused days).
