For Employees: Requesting Leave
1
Open your Leave Balance page
Your leave page is titled Leave Balance and lives at
/my-leave. Open it by going to that address directly: there is no Leave item in the left navigation and no leave link on your Home dashboard. (Quick Actions on Home has exactly two cards, View Payslips and Tax Documents.) Bookmark /my-leave if you use it often.The page header shows a Request Leave button alongside small per-type balance chips, a quick summary of your available days for each leave type.At the top of the page, three balance cards show your core leave types:- Casual Leave (calendar icon)
- Sick Leave (heart icon)
- Earned Leave (trending-up icon)

Track your request
Below the balance cards, the Leave Requests section lists your requests with their status:
On desktop the requests appear in a table (Type, Dates, Days, Status, Reason, Actions). Half-day requests show “½” in the Days column. On mobile they appear as stacked cards.When you have not submitted any requests yet, the Leave Requests section shows an empty state titled “No leave requests”.
Cancelling a request
You can cancel a request only while it is still Pending:- Find the pending request in the Leave Requests list.
- Click Cancel in the Actions column.
For Employers: Approving Leave
The employer review screen is titled Leave Requests. For the full walkthrough, see Leave Approvals. In short:- Open the Leave Requests page at
/employer/eor/leave. It is a queue of requests still awaiting a decision. - Click Approve on a pending request to approve it. The employee’s balance updates automatically (pending days move to used days).
- Click Reject to decline it. A reason is required before you can submit the rejection.
How balances are tracked
For employees, the Leave Balance page shows a card per core type with Available, Used, Pending, and Total. If no policies are assigned to your account yet, India EOR starter balances are shown (12 days each for Casual and Sick Leave; Earned starts at 0). When you submit a request, the system counts business days between your start and end dates, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. A half-day counts as 0.5 days. Overlapping requests are not allowed: if you already have a pending or approved request covering the same dates, a new request for that period is rejected. These rules are detailed in Leave request rules and limits.Related
