Setting up leave

  • Leave types (Leaves → Leave Types): casual, sick, earned, maternity, paternity and any of your own.
  • Leave policies (Leaves → Leave Policies): how each type accrues, the carry-forward limit and expiry, and whether unused leave can be encashed and at what rate. Different policies can apply to different groups.
  • Holidays (Leaves → Holidays): a calendar per region, optional (restricted) holidays with a yearly cap, and holidays limited to certain departments.
  • Compensatory off is credited for working on an off day or holiday, under the rules you set.

Applying and approving

  • Employees apply from Leaves → Apply Leave on the web or from the mobile app, see their balance before they submit, and can cancel a pending request.
  • Managers approve from their Approvals Inbox; HR sees every request.
  • The Calendar shows who is away across the team.
  • Other requests sit beside leave: Work From Home, Outstation Duty, Partial Day and Regularization, each with its own approval.
