Managing leave requests
Let employees request time off and approve it in one click — with leave balances, multiple leave types, and accurate carry-forward.
The Leave module replaces email back-and-forth with a single approve/reject queue. Employees see their own balances; managers see only their direct reports'.
Set up leave types
- Open HR → Settings → Leave types.
- Add a type — Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Personal Days, Maternity, Bereavement, Unpaid.
- Set the annual allocation (e.g. 20 days per year).
- Choose carry-forward rules — Unlimited, Max N days, or None.
- Decide if it needs supporting documents (e.g. doctor's note for sick leave over 3 days).
- Save. New employees automatically get fresh balances on join date.
The approval flow
Employee submits a request → reporting manager sees it on their dashboard → one-click approve or reject with a note. Approved leave automatically blocks the calendar and adjusts the balance.
Connect Google Calendar so approved leave appears on shared team calendars — no double-bookings on someone's PTO.
