Before you use the leave module to manage employee leave, there are few things you need to set up as an Admin user before you make this module available to all employees. They are;
- Define Leave Period
- Add Leave Types
- Define Workweek
- Add Holidays
Define Leave Period

To define the leave Period, login as an admin user and go to Leave > Configure> Leave Period.
You can enter the starting month and date of your leave year (typically the calendar year or financial year of the company) by clicking the edit button and completing the relevant fields. Based on the month and date selected, the end date will be automatically generated and displayed to the user.
Once you make the changes, click save the leave period you selected will be displayed as the Current Leave Period.
Add Leave Types
Next, leave types such as Annual leave, Casual leave and Vacation leave which includes in your company leave policy as paid leave (or unpaid) need to be added to the system. Your employees will be using them to apply for leave or assigning leave on behalf of their subordinates.
