# Leaves The **Leaves** module centralizes all Time Off requests, ensuring that both employees and managers have a clear, auditable trail of planned absences to facilitate better capacity planning.
Leaves management interface with pending and historical requests

Leaves module showing leave requests and approval workflow

## The Leave Lifecycle The portal divides the Leave experience into two primary views centered around the approval workflow.
Pending Approval When an employee submits a new Leave request (specifying dates, the Leave Type, and an optional summary/reason), it immediately surfaces in this view for managers holding Tenant Manager or Tenant Owner roles. * **Card UI**: Pending requests are displayed as easily scannable cards. * **Actionable**: Managers can immediately Approve, Reject (with required remarks), or Edit the request (e.g., adjusting the dates if only a partial leave is granted) directly from the card. * **Notifications**: Approvals or Rejections trigger automated notifications back to the employee.
All Leave A historical and comprehensive data table displaying every leave request ever made within the selected timeframe. * **Filtering**: Highly configurable filters allow HR to search by a specific Employee Name, Leave Type (e.g., Sick, Casual, Earned), or Status (Approved, Pending, Rejected). * **Exporting**: Like other critical HR data, this view supports exporting a CSV report detailing the "From," "To," "Duration," "Reason," and "Status" of every request.
## Applying for Leave To submit a new leave request, employees click the **Apply Leave** button and fill in the following details: * **Leave Type** -- select from the configured types (e.g., Sick, Casual, Earned). * **Date Range** -- the start and end dates of the requested absence. * **Summary / Reason** -- an optional note explaining the reason for leave. Once submitted, the request immediately appears in the **Pending Approval** tab for the employee's manager to act on. The employee can track its status from the **All Leave** tab. ## Access Control The portal enforces strict access controls regarding Leave management. Only users with specific administrative privileges (Tenant Owners/Managers) can approve or reject leaves, whereas standard employees can only submit requests and view the status of their own historical applications. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
