Overview
Why teams start here
A manager needs more than a date range. They need to know which hours the employee would otherwise work, whether someone can cover the important tasks, and whether the right allowance is available.

Employee leave tracker / Leave request formFAQs
Questions about this use case
Does submitting a leave request reduce the balance?
No. In this app, pending and returned requests do not deduct hours. A completed approval posts the booking. This keeps requested demand separate from agreed time away.
Does the app calculate working days and public holidays automatically?
No. Enter the hours the employee is scheduled to work during the requested period. The dates, work pattern, and explanation help the reviewer check that amount. Automatic holiday-calendar and accrual rules would need separate configuration or a specialist leave system.
Can we change the person who reviews requests?
Yes. An administrator maintains the reviewer on the leave account, and new requests take that reviewer from the selected account. Reassign already-open tasks explicitly rather than assuming an account edit reroutes existing work.
Can the whole team see why someone is away?
They do not need that information to plan cover. Use an availability view with names and dates and limit access to request details. The example contains fictional people. Configure and test your actual employee and manager access before storing personal information.
Is this the same as time tracking?
No. Leave management handles requested and agreed time away. A time tracker records hours worked, usually for timesheets, costs, or payroll. Keep the two definitions separate even if you later connect their records.
