Request for Leave - Multiple Dates - A summary of the activity

Multiple leave applications: Through this self-service activity, an employee can request leave for multiple sets of dates using a single page. At the outset, the type of leave must be specified. Each set of dates for which the employee requests leave will comprise an individual leave application.

While requesting leave for each set of dates, the employee can specify details such as the leave start and end dates, the number of leave units to be availed and the leave reason. He or she can also specify the covering employee during the leave period, the expected date and time of return and the list of supporting documents. Once these leave applications are submitted, the system automatically generates a unique application number to identify each leave.

For the specified type of leave, the employee can also view the leave balance, as well as the number of days of requested leave that are pending for approval.

Leave summary: The activity further allows the employee to view his or her complete leave summary since the date of joining. For every leave type, the system shows the number of leave units that the employee has availed, as well as the treatment of the unavailed leave units; this could be encashment, adjustment, forfeiture or carryover of the leave units.

Leave status: The employee can also view the leave status of all leave applications generated within a given date range and of a given leave type.  The leave application status may be “authorized”, “rejected” or “pending for approval”. It also displays the actual leave units requested by the user and the authorized leave units.

Viewing the error log: You can also view the type of error that occurs during the processing of the leave.
