Employee Leave

Zoho People's leave provides up-to-date information on your entitled leaves and leave status. It also lets you quickly apply for leave and compensatory off. The employee can view their holiday calendar to plan their vacation. They can also view reports to gain insightful information about their leave trends, and the other employees' availability in their department on any given day.


 Leave views

An employee can view leave data both as a list or a calendar.

List View 

The List View features an employee's complete leave details with the status of approvals. The breakup of planned and used leaves can also be viewed under Booked within each leave type.



They can apply for leave, view leave information of previous years' leave, and sync their leave with Google Calendar or Office 365. 

Calendar View  

This view displays an employee's monthly leave details across the calendar. You can also view the past and future month-wise leave details by using the date bar (top middle).

User view: to view one's leave details across the calendar
    1. From your home page, go to Leave > Views > Calendar View.
    2. Click on User.
    3. Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate between months.


Department view: to view the leave details of the members of a department.


    1. From your home page, go to Leave > Views > Calendar View.

    2. Click Department


    3. Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate between months
This view provides a detailed list of department members.



Additionally, you can export and print your leave details by clicking the ellipsis icon and selected the required option. If password protection is enabled for exporting files, then a password to open the file will be sent to the employee's mail. 

Applying for Leave


Applying leave is a simple task that can be performed as follows. Let's say an employee wants to apply for bereavement leave. 

    1. From your home page, go to Leave > Views > Apply Leave.

    2. Select Bereavement leave under Leave Type and give the Date. 

    3. Based on the settings for the leave type, you can also apply for hour-based leave. For day-based leave, you can apply for half-day leave (first or second half) or for quarter-day leave (1st , 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter) based on the configured permissions.


    4.  Enter the team email address and reason for leave, as required.

    5. Click Submit.

A leave summary specific to the employee will be displayed while applying for leave, which will provide a clear picture of the leave balance before and after the applied leave and the year-end (31st Dec) estimated balance for that leave type. 


Upon clicking Balance after booked leave, an employee will be able to get a detailed view of the leave transactions.

    1. From Home, go to Leave > Views. 

    2. Click on the specific leave request you want to cancel, now click Cancel
    Partial leave cancellation: If the leave request has multiple days, you can use the checkboxes to select the dates that you want to cancel the leave for (or select the entire range, if all days)
    cancel_v2
    3. If reason for cancellation is mandatory, enter a reason for canceling the leave.
    4.  Click Yes.

Notifying team regarding absence

While applying for leave, there is an option to notify the team of the person's absence. On clicking 'Apply Leave', an employee is taken to the page as shown in the image below.


Here, under Team email ID, we can specify the email address of the team to be notified of the absence of the person who is on leave.

Applying for compensatory off 


If your organization has enabled compensatory off, an employee can request for comp off for having worked on weekend or holiday. To request for a compensatory off, 

    1. Go to Leave > Compensatory off.

    2. Click  Add Request .


apply comp off


    3. Enter the date you worked on and the duration of comp off you want to request.

Based on your organization's policy and permissions configured, special requests for leave can be made through Leave Grant.
To request for leave grant,
1. Go to Leave > Leave Grant > Add Request.
2. Select the applicable leave type.


3. Enter the Effective from date.
4. Enter the number of days needed for this leave grant.

Once it is approved, the requested number of days will be credited in the employee's leave balance. They will be able to apply for the requested leave. This leave will also undergo an approval process if one is configured; else it will be auto-approved.
