Overview

Leave categories are the means through which your employees can submit time off against a pre-defined category. These pre-defined categories allow you to track what type of leave your employees are taking and the balance they have accrued, giving your organisation the means to manage and report on employee leave within your business.

This feature allows you to create your organisation's leave categories, the rules used to accrue leave, and the users that this setup applies to within your business. You can also use this feature to edit a rule or category if it needs updating and delete a record you no longer use in your organisation.
