Leave balance integrity

Stop paying out leave that's
already been taken.

15% of leave is never booked, so it sits on your balance sheet until it is paid out. Muster reads a host of signals to determine who's on leave, checks it against your leave system, and flags the gaps.

The problem

Every Australian payroll cycle has a quiet leak.

Since hybrid and remote work became the norm, it's hard for your managers to know who's working. The person not at their desk, are they on leave or working from home?

As a result, the leave goes unrecorded and you pay for it in increased liabilities and cash when the employee leaves.
