Overview: Leave
The Leave Management Module helps HR and employees easily manage and track leave requests, approvals, and balances in one centralized system.

Automated leave balance calculations and accruals
Transparent approval workflows with notifications
Real-time leave tracking and reporting
How the Leave Module Works
The Leave Module in Better HR System allows HR teams and managers to efficiently track, manage, and analyze employee leave.
It includes two main sections:
Balance View – View and manage each employee’s leave balance by leave type (e.g., Annual, Sick, Unpaid).
Analytics View – Analyze leave usage trends, total headcount, and export reports for better decision-making.
Leave entitlements and cycles are controlled by assigned policies. Once a leave policy is applied to an employee, the system will automatically generate leave based on the policy’s configuration — whether it's a yearly cycle, monthly accrual, or based on the employee’s join date.
