Leave management

Leave balances

Each employee has a leave balance per leave type, held per financial period. An HR user with HR_LEAVE_MANAGE_BALANCE can adjust a balance directly — an opening grant, a carry-forward correction, an encashment.

Requesting leave

From the Leave page an employee submits a request — type, dates, reason. The request is checked against the available balance before it's accepted.

Approval

A leave request moves through approval by someone holding HR_LEAVE_APPROVE (typically the team leader, then HR). On approval the balance is decremented; on rejection it is untouched. Anyone with HR_LEAVE_VIEW_ALL can see the whole company's leave calendar rather than just their own.

Where it shows up

Approved leave is reflected in attendance summaries and is visible on the org hierarchy and the admin dashboard, so a manager planning a week sees who is out.
