# Bueggio HR > Bueggio HR is radically simple staff leave management software for small teams anywhere. It replaces spreadsheets and paper forms with a shared wall chart, one-click approvals, public holidays for 45+ countries and built-in country-specific leave rules — GDPR-first, with all data hosted in the EU. Web app at https://www.bueggiohr.eu — available in English, Italian, French and Spanish. ## What it does - Request → approve → wall chart: employees book time off from their phone, managers approve in one click (from email, Slack or Microsoft Teams, no login needed), and everyone sees who's off on a shared monthly wall chart. - Allowance tracking: annual allowance with pro-rata for mid-year joiners, per-type yearly counters (remote work, sick leave, business trips…), carry-forward of unused days into the next leave year with optional expiry, and over-allowance warnings. - Country-specific rules for Southern Europe: Italian ROL / ex-festività hour balances and INPS certificate numbers, French jours ouvrables/ouvrés counting, RTT and jours de fractionnement, Spanish convenios, libre disposición and regional holiday calendars. National public-holiday calendars are importable per country and region. - Team structure: departments with named approvers, department absence caps (max people away at once), date locks to block bookings on critical periods, and granular wall-chart visibility permissions for privacy. - Working patterns: configurable working week, per-weekday business hours in the organization's timezone, and half-day bookings. - Notifications: in-app bell, localized emails, Slack (slash command /bueggio, interactive approvals) and Microsoft Teams; optional daily or weekly absence digests for managers and admins, scheduled per user. - Calendars: personal and per-department iCal feeds (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar) plus native push sync to Google Calendar and Outlook via OAuth. - Mobile app: installable web app (PWA) for iPhone, iPad and Android — installs from the browser with no app store, opens full screen, and delivers push notifications for new requests and decisions.
