Organisations receive regular leave requests from employees for various reasons, from appointments to overseas trips. Managing these requests helps in resource planning, allowing you to identify staffing needs and availability.
The Leave Liabilities reporting feature provides reports on current and historical approved leave requests, including details like leave value, total hours, and loading value. You can export this data as an Excel file or a printable PDF.
Note
Only Tracked Leave categories will show in the leave liability report.

Warning
Currently, when the "as at date" is changed to a date in the past, the report will still show the current leave liability. Leave liability reports are primarily used for monitoring current leave liabilities and forecasting future ones. To track leave liabilities over time, you can run a current report, export it, and file it for future reference.
