Understanding Leave Distribution for Resource Planning

Leave Distribution

ADMIN HELP CENTER · ORGANIZATION DASHBOARD

Leave Distribution

A live breakdown of who's on leave today — by type, by person — so HR and managers can plan coverage before work piles up.

The Leave Distribution widget shows employee leave status across the organization, grouped by leave type (sick, earned, casual, and any other time-off policies your org uses). It's the fastest way to spot resource gaps and align workforce plans with actual availability.

What You'll See

Sick Leave

Unplanned absences due to illness — track frequency to spot wellness trends.

Earned Leave

Accrued vacation time — usually planned, so coverage can be set in advance.

Other Time-Off

Casual, comp-off, maternity, bereavement — every policy configured by your org.

Each leave type surfaces the employees currently using it, with total days shown.

How HR & Managers Use It

📈
Spot trends

Repeated sick-leave clusters may signal burnout or wellness issues worth addressing.

🗓️
Plan coverage

Reassign critical tasks before multiple team members overlap on the same day.

💼
Resource allocation

Factor availability into staffing, sprint planning, and workload balancing.

💡 Tip

The date shown next to the title reflects the snapshot for today's data. Compare across days to understand how leave usage shifts week to week.

📝 Note

Only approved leaves appear in the distribution. Pending requests are not counted until they're approved by the line manager or HR.
