My Leave 

Upon logging into the system, when the user clicks on "My Leave," they can view all the leave requests they have submitted, along with the status of each request (e.g., Cancelled, Scheduled, Pending Approval). Users also have the option to cancel their leave requests.

Also, users can view others on leave, Leave Days, or add comments for their leave requests. 

Select Menu-> My Leave

My Leave Usage 

You can check your leave balances for every leave type by navigating Select Menu-> My Leave Usage.

My Leave Usage allows you to view the information about your leave entitlements and the usage of each leave type for the current year.

There are two options: entitlement breakdown and my leave. When the user selects a leave type and clicks on "My Leave," the app shows all leave requests with each stage related to the selected leave type. When clicking, the entitlement breakdown displays the details of the added date and validity period of the leave type. 

When the user selects a leave type and clicks the + icon, the app navigates the user to the apply leave screen of the selected leave type. 

Leave List

By selecting the "Leave List," the admin and supervisor users can view all the leave requests sent by their employees. Users can perform actions for multiple leave requests at once.

More than one leave request can be approved or rejected at once. Users can hold down for a second to choose leave requests (one or more). Upon selection, the following actions can be performed.

Select Menu -> Leave List

• When the user chooses the thumbs-up icon, a pop-up message will be displayed: “Confirmation Required: Do you want to approve the leave request(s)?"
• The user can choose to approve all or cancel the action.
• When the user chooses the thumbs-down icon, a pop-up message will be displayed: “Confirmation Required: Do you want to reject the leave request(s)?"

By selecting a leave request in the list, the page below is displayed, where the user can approve or reject the leave request by going to the detailed view of that particular leave type.

When the user selects “Leave Days” from the “Leave Request Details” as described above, if there are multiple days of leave, the date range is shown here with the status of each day. If an employee has applied for multiple days of leave and the supervisor has only approved some of the leave requests, from this screen, it is possible to see the status of each date.

When the user selects “Others on Leave” from the “Leave Request Details” as described above, the list of leave requests applied by other employees during the same leave period of the selected employee will be listed. This is very helpful in deciding whether to approve or reject a leave request based on resource availability.

If an employee is working an overnight shift and applies for leave, the system will now clearly identify this by displaying a green arrow indicator. 

Filter Employee leave requests 

Users can filter the employee leave requests by tapping the filter icon on the left side of the top corner. Users can filter the employees based on the date period, employee name, subunit, leave type, location, cost center, leave status, etc. Also, users can set the filters as the default.
