Leave Management

Request time off, approve leave for your team, assign leave balances, and track who is away — with policies configured to match your company's rules.

Leave Types

Your organization defines leave types under System Settings → Leave → Leave Types. Common examples include:

• Casual Leave — short personal absences.
• Sick Leave — medical or health-related time off.
• Earned / Privilege Leave — accrued over time based on service.
• Maternity / Paternity Leave — extended leave for new parents.

Each leave type can have its own rules — how many days per year, whether unused days carry forward, and whether past dates can be requested.

Assigning Leave Balances

Before employees can take leave, HR assigns their annual balance under Leaves → Assign Leaves. Select the employee, leave type, and number of days they are entitled to for the period.

Applying for Leave (Employees)

1. Go to Leaves → My Leaves Request.
2. Click to create a new request.
3. Select the leave type, start date, end date, and reason.
4. Submit — your reporting manager receives a notification.

Approving Leave (Managers & HR)

1. Go to Leaves → Leaves Request to see all pending requests.
2. Review the dates, leave type, and remaining balance.
3. Approve or reject the request.
4. On approval, the leave balance is deducted automatically.

Leave Encashment

When allowed by company policy, employees can request to cash out unused leave days instead of taking time off. Manage these under Leaves → Leave Encashment.

Leave and Holidays

Company holidays (configured in the Holidays module) are automatically excluded from leave calculations on those dates.

Leave Reports

Generate leave analytics from Reports → Leave Report to see usage patterns, remaining balances, and team availability.
