Workwisely Leave Management: Apply, Edit & Cancel Leave

Leave Management

Employee Self Service → Time Off → Leaves → Leave Request

My Team → Time Off → Leaves → Leave Request

It allows employees, managers, and admins to efficiently handle leave requests, approvals, and balances.

  • Employee Self-Service (ESS): Employees can apply for leave, view their leave balance, track leave history, and withdraw requests (if permitted).

  • Manager Access: Managers can review, approve, or reject leave requests from their team members. They can also check team members' leave balance and leave history.

  • Admin Access: Admins can configure leave policies, define leave types (e.g., annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave), and manage leave balances. They also have the ability to override approvals and adjust leave records when required.

  • Leave Eligibility & Validation: The system ensures that employees can only apply for leave based on their available balance and eligibility. If an employee exceeds their entitlement, a validation message is displayed.

  • Approval Workflow: Leave requests follow a predefined approval hierarchy based on the organization’s workflow configuration.

  • Leave Reports & Insights: Admins and managers can generate leave reports.

To apply for a leave request, click the +Apply Leave button on the right-hand side. A pop-up window will open, where employees must fill in all the mandatory fields and submit the request.

  • When selecting the Leave Type, employees can view their eligibility for the chosen leave type on the right-hand side.

  • After completing all required fields, click Submit to trigger the approval process, which will be sent to the designated approver based on the configured workflow.

  • To view leave data: Select the record, and a pop-up window will open displaying the applied leave request.

  • To edit a leave request: Click the Three Dots in the Actions column and select Edit.

  • To cancel a leave request: Click the Three Dots in the Actions column and select Cancel.

  • To download the leave register report click the Three Dots in the right hand side above the Actions button and click the Export.

  • You can cancel both applied and approved leave records only if the payslip has not been generated for that month.

  • If you cancel an applied leave request, the status will change to "Cancelled" immediately.

  • If you cancel an approved leave request, the status will change to "Cancel Applied", and an approval request will be sent to the approver. Once approved, the status will change to "Cancelled" and the deducted balance will get credited to that particular leave type.
