Policies define accrual, carry-over and entitlement per person. A request checks the balance, routes to the reporting line the personnel record holds, and on approval removes that capacity from delivery planning immediately.
Holiday calendars and team calendars sit alongside, so an approver can see who else is already away before they say yes.
Because approval happens in an HR system and planning happens somewhere else. The leave tracker is correct, the project plan is built from a copy that was correct on Friday, and the two only meet when somebody does not turn up.
The gap is rarely long — a few days — but a plan built inside it is wrong in a way that only shows up at the deadline.
Planning stops being built on stale availability. A manager staffing next month sees real capacity, including the request approved an hour ago.
The second change is quieter: because the approver is the reporting line rather than a manager field maintained separately, requests stop sitting with somebody who moved team or left.
It does not interpret statutory entitlement for you. Accrual rules, carry-over caps and public holidays are configured by you, per policy and per country, and Nest applies what it is given.
It will also not stop a manager approving leave that leaves a project short. It shows the conflict; the decision stays theirs.
Write the policies before importing balances, because a balance without a policy has nothing to accrue against. Bring current balances as an opening position rather than trying to recreate history.
Run one full month in parallel. Leave policies almost always contain an exception nobody documented.
Loop removes the capacity from planning. Books reads it for payroll where leave is paid or unpaid. Desk reads it for queue coverage. Managers see their own team's calendar without seeing balances they should not. None of these is an integration. They read the same record the approval wrote to.

Fourteen days, every module, no card. Or half an hour with someone who will run it on your own records and tell you where it does not help.
