Leave request flow

- HR Manager receives notification and reviews the request
- HR Manager approves or rejects with a note
- Employee is notified by email and in-app notification
- Approved leave is deducted from the employee's balance automatically
Leave balances
Navigate to HR → Leave → Balances to see each employee's current leave balance by type. Balances auto-reset at the start of each leave year (configurable date).
