Setting Up Leave Types
Leave types define what kinds of leaves employees can apply for. To create leave types:
- Go to Settings → Leave Types
- The system comes with default types: Casual Leave, Sick Leave, Privilege Leave
- Add custom leave types with + Add Leave Type
- Configure annual quota (e.g., 12 days/year)
- Set whether the leave is paid or unpaid
- Enable/disable half-day support for this type
Leave Application Workflow
1
Employee Applies
Employee goes to Leaves → Apply Leave, selects dates, leave type, and adds a reason.
2
Pending Review
Admin/Manager receives notification. The leave appears in their Leave Requests queue.
3
Approved or Rejected
Admin approves/rejects with optional remarks. Employee is notified immediately. Balance is deducted on approval.
Leave Balances
Leave balances are automatically maintained per employee per leave type:
- • Balances are initialized at the start of each calendar year
- • Every approved leave deducts from the balance automatically
- • Cancelled approved leaves restore the balance
- • Admins can manually adjust balances if needed
- • Employees can view their balances on the Leave page
