Leave Reasons

Leave Reasons are available at Settings>>Humans>>Leave Reasons page. On the same page, you can add more leave reasons too.

The balances for each leave reasons can be set up by editing the Leave Reason from the actions dropdown.

After the days have been set to the leave reasons, the balances show up in the add Leave Request form too, so that the employee knows how many days are allowed per year and how many days are left/taken.

• Active – active or inactive leave. If you make it inactive, the employees will not be able to take such leaves
• Day offs between leave period – if the leaves taken inlude weekends, you still count them as leave or not
• While applying for leave, exceed leave balance:

1.            Do not allow – the system will not allow to take leave requests more than what is allowed.
2.            Allow as paid – if you allow exceeding the leave allowance, you decide that the taken leave will be paid.
3.            Allow as non-paid – if you allow exceeding the leave allowance, you decide that the taken leave will be non-paid.
