Leave Requests

The Leave Requests module in the Nettware HR platform provides a streamlined and transparent system for managing employee leave requests and unauthorised absences. It supports structured approval workflows, real-time tracking, and integration with staff profiles and calendars.

Leave Management Features

• Submit Leave Requests
  Employees can request time off directly from their profile, specifying:

  • Type of leave (e.g., annual leave, sick leave, unpaid, parental)

  • Dates and duration

  • Optional notes or supporting documentation

• Leave Balance Tracking
  Automatically checks against the employee’s available allowance to prevent overbooking.

• Calendar Integration
  Approved leaves are reflected in the team calendar for better resource planning.

Approval Workflow

• Leave requests are routed to the appropriate line manager or HR personnel for approval.

• Approvers can:

  • Approve or reject requests with optional comments

  • View team-wide leave schedules before making a decision

Unauthorised Absence Tracking

• HR or managers can record unauthorised absences directly in the system.

• These entries are flagged separately and can be reviewed for disciplinary or payroll considerations.

Notifications

• Automated email or in-platform notifications alert:

  • Staff when requests are approved or denied

  • Managers of pending leave requests

  • HR of potential leave conflicts or excessive absence patterns
