Leave Management

Manage employee leave requests and policies in IceHrm.

This section covers leave types, leave policies, leave requests, approvals, and leave calculations.

📄️ Adding a New Leave Type

Leave types define the different categories of leave available to employees, such as Annual, Casual, Medical, and Paternity leave. IceHrm uses leave types to track employee leave eligibility and enforce your company's leave policies.

📄️ Defining Work Week and Holidays

Properly configuring your work week and holidays ensures accurate leave calculations. The system uses these settings to determine which days count toward leave balances.

📄️ Creating Leave Rules

Leave rules allow you to customize leave entitlements and restrictions based on employee attributes such as job title, employment status, or individual employees. Rules override the default leave type settings for specific groups.

Leave groups allow you to organize employees and assign specific leave types to different groups. This is useful when certain leave types should only be available to specific employee segments.
