A company's leave calendar offers a centralised view of all employees' leave, that will promote a transparent and collaborative work environment. It also helps prevent unplanned absences from disrupting work and makes sure adequate coverage while employees take time off. Admins can enable the company-wide leave calendar through the Permissions feature. You can also view a leave calendar on the dashboard as an admin or manager.
