📄️ Workforce Management Overview
Appello's workforce management system is purpose-built for ICI (Institutional, Commercial, and Industrial) trade contractors who manage unionized and non-union field workers. It handles the full complexity of multi-trade, multi-local operations — union halls, Collective Bargaining Agreement wage tables, travel zones, apprenticeship progression, certifications, and crew management — in a single integrated platform.

Configure the types of leave your workers can request — from vacation and sick leave to union business and compassionate leave. Each leave type defines availability rules, approval workflows, and how time-off appears on the scheduling calendar.
📄️ Leave Submissions
Review and process employee leave and vacation requests. Workers submit leave requests from the mobile app or web portal, and administrators approve or reject them here. Approved leave automatically blocks the worker from being scheduled and appears as a leave indicator on the scheduling views.
