Leave Service for Employees

What is the "Leave" user service?

The "Leave" user service refers to the Leave tab accessed through the left bar in Zoho People. It displays all the necessary employee leave related information such as leave summary, leave balance, etc. It allows users to raise leave-related requests, view upcoming holidays, and more. This space is intended for all users and is accessible by all roles (team members, managers and even administrators).

How to navigate to leave user service?
Simply click on the Leave icon in the left bar in Zoho People.


What can you do here?

Navigate to Leave > Leave Summary tab
  1. View Leave Summary (Leave > My Data > Leave Summary) for a quick overview of the available leave policies and their corresponding leave balance, shortcuts to apply leave, check recent absences, upcoming holidays or leave information, and past leave and upcoming holidays information.

Calendar View

Use the Calendar view option to check your leave and holiday information for the current month. You can also navigate between future and past months of the current year to view the data. 



Sync Leave Calendar

By default, Zoho People is integrated with Zoho Calendar. Enable or disable the setting in Zoho Calendar to view your leave and holiday information in Zoho Calendar. 

Additionally, Zoho People provides an option to sync your approved leaves and holiday information to Microsoft 365 or Google Calendar upon authentication. Access the sync options from the More options menu (three-dot ellipses icon).
You must revoke Microsoft 365 or Google Calendar before you can switch to the other.
