How leave works
Leave covers requesting time off, allocating how much of each leave type an employee has, and approving or rejecting requests.
The pieces
| Screen | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | What is waiting on you: requested leave, recently approved leave, and the next holiday. |
| My Leave Requests | Your own requests and their status. |
| Leave Requests | Every request across the organisation, for whoever approves them. |
| Leave Types | The categories of leave your organisation offers — Casual Leave, Sick Leave, and whatever else has been configured. |
| Assigned Leave | How much of each leave type an employee currently holds. |
| Leave Allocation Request | A request to be given additional leave, separate from an ordinary time-off request. |
Leave types are configured, not fixed
What counts as "Sick Leave" or "Casual Leave", how many days each carries, and whether it is paid, is set up under Leave Types by an administrator. Do not assume every organisation offers the same leave types with the same allowances; check what has actually been configured before documenting or promising a specific number of days to an employee.
