- Type a Code of 1 to 10 letters or digits (for example CL or MRL). A code already used is refused.

Balances
Each staff member's Your balances on Staff > Leaves start from the days a year and fall when a leave is approved. Cancelling an approved leave gives the days back. Working days are counted for you and Sundays and holidays are skipped. See Apply for leave and approve leave.
Leave and pay
- Paid leave appears as "Paid leave" in the monthly staff attendance and does not cut pay.
- Unpaid leave appears as "Unpaid" and counts toward loss of pay.
- At full and final settlement, leave types marked encashable can pay out the balance. The list of encashable types is a payroll setting. See Full and final settlement.
