Manage Leave

Workup provides a comprehensive leave management capability to track all types of leave for every employee. Employees can request leave or record sickness; this can then be approved and tracked by a manager. Workup automatically calculates each employee's entitlements, either based on their contract or using system defaults.

Requesting Leave​

This is covered on the Request Leave page. The Request Leave button appears on multiple pages included the home page, My Status, Team Status, Absence and Employee pages. An employee can request their own leave and a manager or administrator can also record leave for another employee.

Leave Years​

Workup uses a concept of Leave Years to track leave. This defaults to Jan-Dec but a different start month can be selected by an administrator for the organisation. Entitlements, leave taken etc are calculated per leave year. Leave Requests cannot span two leave years so a user will need to split their leave request into multiple requests to do so. Leave entitlement can be carried over from one leave year to the next. Entitlements for a specific leave year can also be manually overidden by an administrator.

Tracking My Leave​

Your current leave status is shown on the home page and also on your My Status page. You can see a summary of entitlements and leave taken per leave year and also list all your leave requests. You can edit and cancel any outstanding leave requests.

Tracking an Employee's Leave​

Managers and administrators can view details of leave recorded for an employee on the People-Employee page. This will show a summary of leave and entitlements for each leave year and a list of all leave requests that can be filtered by year and status. Managers and administrators can approve, reject or edit any leave request for the employee.

Tracking a Team's Leave​

The Team Status page allows a manager to track leave status and requests for all members of their team. This will show a summary of leave and entitlements for each employee for selected leave years. It will also show a list of all leave requests that can be filtered by leave year and status. Managers can approve, reject or edit any leave request for employees in their team.
