Say what you need. It gets done.

Leave, pay, expenses, training, certifications, team challenges — all the things you used to chase through four different systems and an HR inbox. Now you just ask.

Works on your phone, in the browser, or inside Teams and Slack — wherever you already are.

Can I take the 12th to the 23rd of October off?
Yes — that's 10 working days and you'd have 7 left this year. Two of your team are already off on the 12th, so it may need a word with Sarah. Shall I send it?
Annual leave 12–23 Oct10 days · Approver: Sarah K.
Yes please
Sent. I've blocked your calendar and set an out-of-office to start on the 12th.Approved by Sarah · 2 min ago
When's payday and what will my net be?
Friday the 25th. Net pay is £3,412.60 — £118 more than last month because of the overtime on the 3rd and 4th.

What you can do

Everything you'd normally hunt for in a system, or email someone about.

Novus knows which system holds the answer and who needs to approve it. You don't have to.

Leave and absence

Book it, check what's left, see who else is off, get it approved — and Novus handles the calendar and out-of-office.

“Book me next Friday off and tell my team.”

Pay and payslips

Next payday, what you'll take home and why it changed. Payslips, P60s and pension contributions without logging into the payroll portal.

“Why is my pay different this month?”

Expenses

Send a photo of the receipt. Novus files the claim, codes it, sends it for approval and tells you when it's paid.

“Claim this taxi — client meeting, Thursday.”

Training and learning

Find the course, book it, see your progress, and get nudged before a deadline — from whichever learning platform your company uses.

“What training do I still need to finish this quarter?”

Certifications and compliance

Which certs you hold, which are due, and the renewal booked before it lapses. Novus keeps the record; you keep working.

“Which of my certifications expire this year?”

Challenges and recognition

Team challenges, leaderboards, shout-outs and rewards. See where you stand, give a colleague credit, join the next one.

“How's my team doing in the steps challenge?”

On your computer

The same Novus at your desk — with everything about you alongside.

In the browser, or inside Teams and Slack. The conversation is the same; the desktop just gives it more room.

If you manage people

Approvals in a sentence. Your team at a glance.

  • Approve from anywhere. Leave, expenses and timesheets arrive as a message. Approve, decline or ask a question in reply.
  • See what's coming. Who's off next week, who's overdue on training, whose certification lapses next month.
  • Signal, not surveys. A quiet read on how the team is feeling, from everyday interactions — early enough to do something about it.

Straight answers

What Novus can and can't see.

You're going to ask, so here it is.

Only what you can already see

Novus works inside your existing permissions. If you couldn't see it in the system, you can't see it in Novus — and neither can anyone else about you.

Nothing kept

Novus reads from your company's systems when you ask and doesn't store a copy of your data.

Sentiment is anonymised

The read on how teams are feeling is aggregated. Nobody sees "Jamie seemed unhappy on Tuesday." Ever.

Want this where you work?

Send it to whoever runs HR or IT. We'll take it from there.
