Leave management FAQs
How are leave balances calculated?
Balances are calculated automatically based on accrual rules defined in your leave policy — monthly, quarterly, or annual. The system updates in real time as requests are approved.
Can employees carry over unused leave?
Yes. Carryover is fully configurable per leave type — you can set maximum carryover days, expiry dates, and whether carryover requires manager approval.
How does the approval workflow work?
When an employee submits a request, it routes to their direct manager. You can configure multi-level approvals, auto-escalation timers, and delegation rules for when a manager is unavailable.
Can we define custom leave types?
Absolutely. Create unlimited custom leave types with their own colours, accrual rules, approval chains, and eligibility criteria.
Does it integrate with attendance?
Yes. Approved leave automatically reflects in the attendance ledger. The payroll module also reads leave data to calculate deductions and paid leave accurately.
