Set up leave and approve requests

Let staff request time off in Get Repair instead of by text message. Approved leave is taken from their yearly balance.

#1. Create leave types

1. Go to Settings → Team → Leave and click Add Type.
2. Enter a Name ①, e.g. Vacation.
3. Choose the Category and Days / Year ②: Vacation, Sick, Unpaid or Custom, and the yearly allowance (e.g. 10).
4. Leave Paid leave ③ on for paid time off (approved requests reduce the employee's balance). Turn it off for unpaid leave.
5. Keep Active on so staff can choose it, then click Add ④.

A typical setup: Vacation (paid, 10 days), Sick (paid, 5 days), Unpaid (0 days).

#2. Choose who approves

On the same page:

• Approval Recipients: toggle on the people who should review requests. Owners, admins and managers can always approve.
• Also Notify (email only): extra email addresses that get a copy of every new request but can't approve.

#3. Approve or reject requests

When an employee requests time off, it appears in Leave Requests under Pending. Open it to approve or reject. Use All to see past requests.
