Most leave tools break the moment your staff don't work fixed days. Coverboard gets holiday and sick pay right for variable-hours, zero-hours and part-time workers — the maths employers get sued for — warns you before a team drops below cover, and runs month-to-month with no contract.

Features
Variable hours, zero-hours contracts, shift cover, statutory pay that has to be right — the stuff that breaks simple trackers and lands employers in tribunals. Coverboard handles it, without a contract.
Holiday for zero-hours and irregular-hours staff accrues at the correct 12.07% of hours worked — tracked and taken in hours, not fudged into days. The maths the simple tools can't do and employers get sued for, built in.
Set a minimum cover level per team, region or role. Coverboard warns you the moment a request would leave a shift short-staffed — before you approve it, not after.
SSP on the 2026 rules (no waiting days, 80% of earnings), SMP eligibility, holiday-pay averaging, carer's and neonatal care leave, Bradford Factor and bank holidays by region — kept up to date so you stay compliant without thinking about it.
One glance shows who's out today, who's back soon, and which teams are below safe cover this week. No more group-chat scramble to find out.
Self-serve and month-to-month — start free, cancel anytime. No multi-year lock-in, no 80% cancellation penalties, no 'free advice' sessions that are really sales pitches.
Absence trends, Bradford Factor, regional cover, holiday-usage and a payroll export — the reporting the simple trackers don't give you.
Run /whosout, /mybalance and /requestleave from Slack, with email approvals and notifications so nothing gets missed.
