Overview

This tab in the Time Off Module helps you to manage and regulate the request for leaves. It is very easy to regulate all the leaves here. In the image below, you will get the already configured time-off request under the My Time Off option in the My Time Off Tab in the menu bar.

As shown in the screenshot, you are able to see the view in Kanban, List, and Activity as well. In the filter option, you will get the filters to see the relevant records only. In the already configured Time Off, you will have further details, such as the Name of the Employee, Time Off Type, Description of the Leave, Starting Date, Ending Date of the leave, and Status of the leave, whether it is approved or not. You will get the option to approve or refuse the leave accordingly if the management of the leave request is allowed for you.

In order to make a new leave request, you can go for the Create button, as shown in the image above. On selecting the create option, you will get a window where you have to mention the Time Off Type from the given drop-down menu, which includes options, such as Paid Time Off, Compensatory Days, Sick Time Off, Extra Hours, or Unpaid, respectively. Below that, you have to give the date and duration of the leave. Then, mention the reason for the leave in the description option. And finally, go for the Save button.

The leave will be approved, refused, or marked as a draft accordingly. This is how we make new leave requests in Odoo Time Off Module.

The next option in the My Time Off Tab, you have got another option of My Allocation, by which you can easily make an allocation request for getting a special permit for an additional number of leaves than the provided leave. To say, if a particular employee took two approved leaves and he wants three more days of leave, then he can make use of the leave allocation option. Under the My Allocation option, it is very easy to make a leave request.

On the page, you have all the leave allocations, as in the image above. In this leave allocation, you will get the details, such as Time Off Type, Description about the leave, Duration of the leave, Allocation Type, and Status of the leave request, respectively. The page will be visible in the Kanban View. Now, for creating a new leave allocation, go for the Create button, as marked in the image.

On this page, you have to give the name for the allocation request, Time Off Type, and a Validity Period on their allotted space. The Duration will be displayed on the screen according to the validity period that we are providing in the above field. You have a space to add the reason for the allocation request as well. Finally, go for the Confirm icon, as marked in the above image. On doing so, the status will be automatically changed to ‘To Approve’ from ‘To Submit.’ So the manager in the company can approve or refuse the leave request from the Approval Tab.
