Allowances
Settings → Payroll → Leave defines the default annual, sick and other leave types with days per year, accrual and carry-over. On a staff profile → Leave you can set special allowances for that person (e.g. 30 days annual for a senior manager); otherwise the defaults apply.
Requests
- Staff request leave from Staff → My HR → Leave (dates, type, note, attachment for sick leave). Their manager and HR are notified.
- On Payroll → Leave, an approver can Edit the request first (fix dates or type), then Approve or Reject with a comment. The employee is notified.
- Approved unpaid leave is deducted automatically in the payroll run for that month; paid leave reduces the balance.
Balances and upcoming leave appear on the staff profile and the Payroll → Leave calendar.
