Leave management
This page shows you how leave works in Zinye HR — from setting it up to staff applying and managers approving.
Set up your leave framework
Section titled “Set up your leave framework”Do this once:
- Holiday List — define your non-working days (weekends and public holidays).
- Leave Types — the kinds of leave you offer (for example Sick Leave, Casual Leave, Annual Leave).
- Leave Period — the span (usually a year) that allowances run over.
Set a policy and allocate leave
Section titled “Set a policy and allocate leave”A Leave Policy says how many days of each type a person gets. From the policy you create a Leave Allocation for the leave period — this is what gives each employee their balance to draw from. You can grant extra days to individuals when needed.
Staff apply for leave
Section titled “Staff apply for leave”An employee submits a Leave Application:
- They open Leave Application and click New.
- They pick the leave type, the dates, and their leave approver (usually their manager).
- They submit it.
Staff can do this from their self-service view.
Managers approve
Section titled “Managers approve”The leave approver reviews the request and approves or rejects it. On approval, the employee’s balance for that leave type goes down automatically — there’s no separate spreadsheet to update.
Track it
Section titled “Track it”You can see who’s taken what with the leave reports, and every change is recorded, so balances always reconcile.
