You can link your payroll platform with Slack to automatically update employee statuses when they are on leave, showing an emoji and a return date. Admin permissions are required to enable this feature in Slack. If an admin user activates the integration, only members and guests will see status updates, but if the primary owner enables it, all users in the workspace will receive updates.
Important
The Slack Integration feature is only available for businesses on plus plans. It also does not account for public holidays and will only reflect the leave entered into the payroll platform.

What happens with public holidays?
The integration does not consider public holidays; the payroll platform just looks at how much leave you have entered into the platform. The user that enables the integration must have admin permissions, or higher in the Slack workspace. For example, if an admin user enables the Slack integration, then only members and guests will receive status updates. If the primary owner enables it, then all users in the Slack workspace will receive status updates
What happens with employee leave?
You can integrate your payroll platform with Slack to have your employees status updated when they are on leave. When an employee's leave starts, the Slack status will automatically update for that employee with the emoji and the status I am on leave and the date they will return to work.
What is the permission hierarchy?
The permission hierarchy in Slack is as follows: Primary Owner > Owner > Admin > Member > Guest. The user that enables the integration must have admin permissions, or higher in the Slack workspace for statuses to be updated. For example, if an admin user enables the Slack integration, then only members and guests will receive status updates. If the primary owner enables it, then all users in the Slack workspace will receive status updates.
