Menu Panel

In the main menu, the Leave list and Assign leave options are not available for ESS users.

Apply Leave 

When users log into the system, the Apply Leave page will be the first page they see. Users can click on the three-bar icon on the right to access the menu list.

Select Menu -> Apply. 

The following screen displays, and the user can apply for leave by adding the details. 

Overnight shift is now supported; if the employee is working on an overnight shift and applies for leave, it will display with a green arrow indicating that it is an overnight shift

My Leave 

My Leave also has the same behavior when the user selects "Apply Leave" from the main menu.

Select Menu-> My Leave

The user can view all the leave requests that have been applied and the stage (Cancelled, Scheduled, Pending Approval...) of each leave request. Users can cancel the leave request that is there as "Pending Approval" by tapping on the leave request. 

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

My Leave Usage 

Upon logging into the system, when the user clicks "My Leave Usage."

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, it 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 Calendar

If an ESS user logs in to the mobile application, an employee can only see the leave type and the time (hours) of their own leave requests. The leave type of other employees' leave requests is not visible to the user. 

Leave Calendar - Holiday

When the user clicks on a date that is defined as a "Holiday," the app shows the selected date as a holiday in the section of the calendar screen. Upon clicking the field, the holiday screen gets displayed, where the user can view the name of the particular holiday, the country, and the locations that are affected. 

Leave Blackout Period

If an admin has configured a Leave Blackout Period, the system will restrict employees from applying for leave based on the selected enforcement level:

• Strict: Employees cannot apply for leave during the blackout period. Any attempts to submit leave will be blocked.
• Warning Only: Employees will receive a warning message, but may still proceed with their leave application.

Additionally, the configured leave blackout period will be displayed in the Leave Calendar with a "Strict" indicator, making it clearly visible to employees and managers when leave restrictions are in effect.

As per the leave blackout period configured by your admin, your ability to apply for leave will depend on the enforcement level set:

• If the blackout is set to Strict, you will not be able to apply for leave during this period. Any attempt to submit leave will be blocked, and you may be prompted to cancel the request.

• If the blackout is set to Warning Only, you can still apply for leave but will receive a warning message before proceeding.

Leave Calendar - Weekend

When the user clicks on a date that is defined as a "weekend," the app shows the selected date as a weekend in the section below the calendar screen. Upon clicking the field, the weekends screen gets displayed, where the user can view the details of the weekend and the countries that are affected.
