Leaves — Human Resources — Workspace
Leave types, balances, and request/approval workflows.
Overview
The Leaves app manages employee leave types, annual quotas, balance
tracking, and the request/approval workflow. It integrates tightly with
Payroll — when a leave is approved, the system automatically
creates an attendance record (0 for a full absent day, 0.5 for a half
day), which feeds directly into payslip generation. This means approved
leaves automatically reduce the employee's pay for unpaid leave types.

Leave Types
Workspace admins can define custom leave types. Four default types are
seeded automatically the first time the app is accessed:
Casual Leave — 12 days per year, no carry
forward, paid.
Sick Leave — 12 days per year, no carry
forward, paid, requires supporting document (e.g. medical
certificate).
Earned Leave — 15 days per year, carry
forward enabled, paid.
Loss of Pay (LOP) — 0 days quota (unlimited),
no carry forward, unpaid — deducted from
salary.
Each leave type is configured with:
Annual Quota — number of days allocated per
year. Set to 0 for unlimited.
