## Details

## Overview

Breathe is a cloud-based HR management system founded in the UK that helps small and medium businesses manage their workforce more efficiently. While it's a full HR platform, its time and attendance features make it a strong alternative to dedicated time-off tracking tools like Timetastic.

## Time & Attendance Features

### Holiday/Time-Off Management
- Employee self-service holiday requests
- Manager approval workflows
- Automatic holiday entitlement calculations
- Carryover rules and pro-rata calculations
- Visual team calendar showing who's off when
- Integration with UK statutory leave requirements

### Absence Tracking
- Sick leave recording and reporting
- Absence patterns and analytics
- Bradford Factor calculations for absence monitoring
- Customizable absence types (sick, personal, bereavement, etc.)
- Return-to-work interview tracking

### Time Tracking
- Basic timesheet functionality
- Working hours logging
- Overtime tracking
- Flexible working arrangements management

## Additional HR Features

Beyond time tracking, Breathe offers:
- Employee database and document storage
- Performance management and reviews
- Training and development tracking
- Expense management
- Recruitment and onboarding tools
- Reporting and analytics

## Regional Focus

Breathe is particularly strong for UK-based businesses due to:
- Built-in UK employment law compliance
- Statutory holiday calculations
- Integration with UK payroll systems
- GDPR-compliant data handling

## Target Market

- UK small to medium businesses (10-250 employees)
- Companies wanting affordable HR software
- Organizations transitioning from spreadsheets
- Businesses needing basic time-off tracking within broader HR context

## Comparison to Timetastic

**Breathe**: Full HR platform with time-off as one feature
**Timetastic**: Dedicated holiday/absence tracking specialist

Breathe makes sense if you need multiple HR functions; Timetastic if you only need time-off tracking.

## Pricing

Breathe pricing starts at approximately £21-25/month for small teams, scaling with employee count. Significantly more expensive than single-purpose tools like Timetastic, but covers much broader functionality.

## Platform

Cloud-based web application with mobile apps for iOS and Android. API available for integrations.
