Creating a Leave Type

Create a leave type to define the categories of leave available to employees, such as paternity leave, sick leave, or annual leave.
1

Open the Leave Types page

Navigate to Leaves > Types in the sidebar. Click the Add Leave Type button to open the dialog.
2

Enter the leave type name

In the Name field, enter the name of the leave type (for example, “Paternity Leave”).
3

Set the maximum number of days

In the Max Days field, enter the maximum number of days an employee can take for this leave type (for example, “5”).
4

Save the leave type

Click the Save button to create the leave type. It will now appear in your list of leave types.
Both the Name and Max Days fields are required. You will not be able to save the leave type without filling them in.
Max Days defines the upper limit of leave an employee can request under this type within a given period. Make sure this aligns with your company’s leave policy before saving.
