Frequently Asked Questions

The following provides an overview of the Perq application. If you are looking for detailed technical support, consult the Help section.


What is Perq?

Perq is the world’s best tool for leave management. For managing leave policy, allowances, requests and approvals, benefit levels, and notifications, Perq is the easy and enjoyable solution.

Who Uses Perq?

Perq is used by HR managers, business owners, and everyone who manages staff leave. Managers use Perq to create company leave policy, set benefit levels, and manage staff leave requests. Staff members use Perq to make requests and keep track of leave allowances with instant updates and an easy-to-read dashboard.

Why is it called Perq?

“Perq” is short for “perquisite”–a term you seldom hear these days! A perquisite is a job benefit, like paid or unpaid leave.

How much does Perq cost?

Perq uses subscription pricing based on the number of users and starts at a few dollars per month. (Perq is also available to license and deploy as a “white label” product for enterprises with special brand or security requirements.)

What do I get?

You get unlimited usage of a full-featured application at every level of subscription. That means policy and staff account creation, requests and approvals for all types of leave, automated notifications, and a personalized dashboard for every staff member. Within minutes, you can create official company handbook-quality policy, define multiple benefit levels, and be sending leave notifications. Perq will pay for itself with most companies in *one day*, just in simplifying the process of writing complex leave rules.

How does Perq work?

Perq simplifies three main aspects of leave management:

  1. Creating earning rules for different types of leave for different benefit 'levels'
  2. Automatic accrual and rollover calculations
  3. Request and approval tracking with allowance meters that display available days

Why should I use Perq?

We estimate the cost of mis-accounted leave to be billions of dollars per year. Companies, especially small ones, can’t afford losses and they can’t afford the time required to manage complex policies and track allowances. Perq clarifies the real value of leave allowances and keeps managers and staff on the same page with leave policies and approvals..

I already have a [time tracking, calendar, project management] tool, so why do I need Perq too?

We designed Perq to do one thing very well. Our own experiences with business software tools taught us that no one product that claimed to handle all the aspects of project and time management did so as well as dedicated tools.

If you have project and time tools you already like, Perq will round out your business tools as the go-to solution for managing leave. What's more, Perq automatically updates your calendar in Outlook, iCal, Google calendar, and others.

What about [FMLA, other regulatory] compliance?

For many companies, Perq can be a great tool for managing leave according to legal regulations. Perq is not a “compliance tool” and does not claim or guarantee legal policy compliance; rather, it has flexibility to support many policy rules based on your unique requirements.
