Fictional applications decided in place.

Leave types

## Allowances set for each role.

Define the kinds of leave a role can take and how many days a year each allows.

-   **Only what applies to them.** Staff can apply only for leave types defined for their own role.
    

Example allowances, set per role.

Applying

## An application with the evidence attached.

Choose the type and dates, give a reason, and attach a supporting document if needed.

-   **Within the allowance.** An application that asks for more days than remain for that type is refused, and so are dates that overlap leave already requested.
    
-   **Withdraw while pending.** A pending application can be withdrawn by the person who made it.
    

A fictional application, checked against the remaining allowance and existing leave.

Deciding and reporting

## Decide in place. Report by date.

Every application at the branch is listed and can be filtered by role. Open a pending one to approve or reject it, with the dates, reason and any attached document in front of you.

-   **Recorded on someone’s behalf.** An administrator can enter leave for a member of staff directly, for example after a phone call. It is saved as approved.
    
-   **Leave reports.** List applications in a date range, for every role or one, with totals for applications, approved, pending and rejected. A paperclip marks those with a supporting document.
    

A fictional month of leave, with supporting documents marked.
