1. Leave types (HR setup)

  1. Open HRM → Leave Management → Leaves.
  2. Create leave types (annual days, rules, working vs calendar days).

2. Request leave

  1. HR: open HRM → Leave Management → Employee Leaves. Staff: My HR → Leave requests.
  2. Click Add Leave (or Request Leave).
  3. Select employee (HR only), Leave Type, Start Date and Number of Days (end/resumption dates fill automatically).
  4. Click Save.

3. Approve or decline

On a pending row, HR clicks Approve or Decline. Balances update from the leave engine.
