Leave types

Leave types are the categories employees pick when they apply for leave — for example casual leave, sick leave, or earned leave. Open Leave Management → Leave Types from the left menu.

1. Leave Management — Open the Leave Management group in the menu.
2. Leave Types — Then choose Leave Types.

Steps

1. Open Leave Management → Leave Types.
2. Use the Search leave types... box to find a type by ID, name, code, or notes.
3. Click the eye icon on a row to view that type's full settings in a pop-up.
4. Click the pencil icon to edit a type, or the trash icon to delete it (both appear only if your role allows it).
5. Click Add New at the top right to create a new type — see Creating or editing a leave type.

What you'll see

The table has these columns:

• ID — the leave type number.
• Name — the leave type's name.
• Code — its short code (for example "CL", "SL", "EL").
• Notes — any notes saved on it, or "-" if none.
• Proof Required — Required or Not Required, showing whether a supporting document is needed when this type is used.
• Status — Active or Inactive. Only active types are offered when applying for leave.
• Actions — view, edit, and delete buttons (see the Steps above).

Tips

• A leave type that's already used by existing leave requests can't be deleted — make it Inactive instead.
