In many cases, individuals may need to follow several different calendars to keep track of everything going on within a team. When planning team activities on a calendar, it is common practice to think a month ahead of the current time.
But sometimes it makes sense to step back and see the bigger picture. Other times, you may need to focus on a single week or even a single day. To cater to these specific requirements, OrangeHRM provides a "Leave Calendar", where you can view all the leave requests in one single calendar.
Administrators, ESS employees, and ESS supervisors all have access to the leave calendar. To view the leave calendar, select Leave -> Leave Calendar the Leave Calendar screen is shown.
When applying for leave, employees can use the Leave Calendar to check the availability of their peers and avoid overlapping leave requests. This feature helps organizations prevent multiple leave applications on the same day, ensuring smooth team operations.
