Introduction to Leave Requests in Taskify

Overview

The Leave Requests feature in Taskify simplifies how employees apply for leaves and how managers or approvers handle approvals. It provides a streamlined way for teams to request time off while ensuring transparency in approvals.


Key Features

  1. Leave Types

    • Full Day Leave – Used when an employee will be unavailable for the entire working day.

    • Partial Day Leave – Useful when an employee needs only a few hours off (e.g., medical appointments, half-day).

  2. Approval Workflow

    • Leave requests are not limited to Admin approvals.

    • Taskify allows assigning Leave Approvers, so specific managers or HR representatives can review and approve/reject leave requests.

  3. Request Details

    • Employees can provide leave type, date(s), and a note explaining the reason.

  4. Notifications

    • Automatic notifications are sent to approvers when a leave is requested.

    • Employees are notified once the request is approved or rejected.

  5. Leave Calendar View

    • All approved leaves appear in a calendar format, making it easier for managers to plan workloads and avoid overlaps.


How It Works

  1. Employee Submits a Leave Request

    • Select Full Day or Partial Day.

    • Choose leave dates and optionally add a note.

  2. Approver Reviews

    • Assigned Leave Approver(s) receive the request.

    • Approvers can approve, reject, or comment on the request.

  3. System Updates

    • Approved requests are added to the Leave Calendar for team visibility.


Benefits

  • Flexible leave options (full or partial days).

  • Transparent approval flow with designated approvers.

  • Reduces miscommunication with automatic notifications.

  • Managers can plan better using the Leave Calendar.
