Applying for leave
Leave applications go through the Leaves tab in Attendance. From there you submit a fresh application, see the status of past requests, and — if you have the right permission — see what your team members have applied for.
Open the tab
- Open Human Resources in the sidebar and click Attendance.
- Open the Leaves tab. It opens on My Leaves. If your role allows it, a Team's Leaves sub-tab appears next to it.
Apply for leave
- Click Apply Leave. The Apply for Leave modal opens.
- Pick the Leave Type. Only types your administrator has configured under HR settings appear here.
- Optionally tick Half-Day Leave and pick Morning Off or Evening Off. Half-day applies to a single day only.
- Pick the From and To dates. For a half-day, both dates are the same.
- Enter a Reason.
- Click Submit Application.
If no leave types have been created yet, the modal shows a notice asking HR to add them in Settings.
Your application appears in the My Leaves list with a pending status. Once an approver acts on it, the status updates to approved or rejected.
Track an application
Each row in the Leaves tab shows the leave type, dates, total days, and the current status. Click View to open the leave detail with the full timeline, including the approver's note when rejected or cancelled.
Edit or cancel a pending application
Open the leave detail with View. From there:
- Edit — change the type, dates, half-day setting, or reason. Available while the leave is in a state your role can edit.
- Cancel Leave — withdraw the application. If the leave has already started, cancelling removes the on-leave attendance entries for the past days and falls them back to present or absent.
The buttons only appear when your permissions allow the action.
Common questions
What if I do not see the leave type I need?
Leave types are configured by an administrator under HR settings. Ask them to add the type if it is missing. Inactive types do not appear in the picker.
Where do I see how many days are left?
Each leave type carries a Paid or Unpaid tag in the picker and on the leave list. The Leaves tab itself does not show a running balance — the salary report and your day-by-day calendar reflect the actual deductions.
Can I edit a leave after submitting it?
Yes, while it is in a state your role can edit. Open it from the list and use Edit.
