Leave Management

Overview

Overview

Let employees apply for leave in seconds, and give admins full control over policies, approvals, and balances - all in one place.

The Leave Management module handles the entire leave process - from an employee applying for leave, to it getting approved, to your records staying accurate for payroll. Employees get a simple way to apply and track their leave; admins get full control over policies, approvals, and balances, all from one place.

How it works, in short

  1. Employee applies for leave - picks a leave type, dates, and adds a reason.

  2. It goes through approval - if the employee has a reporting manager, the request goes to them first. If there's no manager assigned, it goes straight to Admin. Even with a manager assigned, Admin can also approve it directly - useful as a backup if the manager hasn't acted yet.

  3. Leave balance updates automatically - once approved, the employee's balance and attendance update on their own - no manual tracking.

  4. It flows into payroll - approved leave is automatically factored into salary calculations, so nothing needs to be entered twice.

What you can configure

Leave types & rules

  • Create custom leave types like Casual Leave, Sick Leave, Earned Leave, Comp-Off (extra leave earned for working on a day off), Work From Home, Birthday Leave, and more

  • Set rules for each type: how much leave to allocate, whether unused leave carries forward to the next year, whether it can be encashed (converted to money), and who's eligible

Approvals

  • Set up one or more approval levels, depending on how your organization wants leave requests reviewed

Tracking & records

  • Leave balances (allocated, used, remaining, carried forward) update automatically - no manual math

  • HR can manually adjust an individual's leave balance whenever needed

  • A full history of every leave credit, deduction, approval, and manual change is kept for reference

  • Filter and search leave records by date, leave type, or approval status - useful for reports and audits

Why it helps

  • No more spreadsheets or paper leave forms

  • Leave policies get applied the same way for everyone, automatically

  • Everyone - employees and admins - can see leave status in real time

  • Leave data flows straight into payroll, so nothing needs re-entering

  • A complete record is always ready for audits or compliance checks
