How does a teacher apply for leave?
Leave → My Leave → Request Leave. Choose the leave type, start and end dates, and write the reason. The request shows as pending until an admin decides. The page also shows the teacher's remaining balance for each leave type. A pending request can be cancelled.
How do I approve or reject leave?
Leave → Leave Approvals. Pending requests are listed. Press Approve or Reject (with a reason). Approved leave shows on the Substitutions page so the teacher's periods can be covered.
How do I set how many days of each leave staff get?
On Leave Approvals, open Leave Policies → Add Policy. Choose the Leave Type (e.g. casual, sick) and the Annual Days. Until policies exist, teachers see "No leave balance configured yet".
Do weekends count as leave?
That depends on the sandwich rule in Settings → School Profile → Leave. When it is on, weekends and holidays inside a leave, or between two leaves next to each other, are also counted. For example, absent on Saturday and Monday counts as 3 days. When it is off, only working days are counted.
