Leave Overview

Summary

Leave provides a governed record of employee absence from request through decision and downstream workforce use.

Audience

Employees, managers, Leave/HR/Payroll administrators, analysts, product owners, QA, and implementation partners.

Overview

Business outcomes include consistent absence requests, visible decisions, balance usage, calendar-aware day counting where policy enables it, Attendance conflict prevention, and approved-leave input for workforce and Payroll processing.

Employee provides eligibility and manager context. Organization contributes tenant and reporting scope. Holidays and Leave-owned weekly offs can affect day count when policy exclusions are enabled. Attendance conflict checks reject overlapping marked/approved Attendance, while Attendance compatibility behavior recognizes approved Leave. Payroll currently consumes approved Leave through legacy read behavior and distinguishes paid/unpaid through transitional conventions. Workflow delegation is optional; direct approval remains the default behavior. Notification of approval is confirmed in the monolith path, while extracted-service notification consumption requires confirmation.
