Leave Management

Policy-driven leave types, accrual balances, and a clean approval workflow for employees and managers.

Overview

Leave Management turns your leave policy into rules the system applies for you: how much leave people get, how it accrues, who approves it, and what happens at year end.

Employees see live balances and apply in seconds; managers approve in a click; HR gets clean data without chasing.

How it works - step by step

  1. 1HR creates leave types and policies, including accrual and carry-forward rules.
  2. 2Balances are credited automatically based on the policy.
  3. 3An employee applies for leave with dates and an optional reason.
  4. 4The manager is notified and approves or rejects with one click.
  5. 5Balances update instantly and the team calendar shows who is away.
  6. 6Unpaid leave and encashment flow into payroll.

Common questions

Can leave types differ for different employees?

Yes. Policies can be assigned per group, so different categories of employees can have different entitlements.

How are new joiners’ balances handled?

You can pro-rate leave for the joining period so they get a fair balance from day one.

Can managers see who is on leave?

Yes. The team leave calendar shows availability so managers can plan.

Does it work with holidays and weekly offs?

Yes. Holidays and weekly offs are applied automatically so they do not count against balances.

Start with three or four leave types and add more only when needed - simple policies get adopted faster.
