How to Set Up Block Leave

The Block Leave feature lets you set specific date periods in a year when employees are not allowed to apply for leave. You can create multiple block periods and assign them to different groups of employees.

Setting Up Block Leave:

• Admins can define a date range and the leave type(s) to block.
• If an employee applies for leave during a block period, they will see a prompt and receive an email notification.
• Backdated leave requests are still allowed, but only after the block period has ended.
  Example: If the block period is 1–5 Feb, an employee can only apply for leave on 4 Feb after 6 Feb.

How to Set Up a Block Leave

Step 1

On the left menu, go to Leave (a) > Block Leave (b).

If you don’t see Block Leave, you need to enable it for your role via:

Settings > User Account > Access Right > Select Role > Expand Leave Menu > Enable Block Leave

Step 2

Fill in all the required fields:

• Title
• Label
• Start Date
• End Date

Step 3

Select which leave types (e.g., leave, time off, unpaid leave, replacement leave) should be included or excluded from this block leave. Once confirmed, click Next.

Step 4

Select the employees who will be affected by this block leave, then click Save.

You have now successfully created a block leave. These employees will also receive an email notification informing them about the block leave period.

Result of Block Leave Setup

• Your new block leave will appear in the Active list.

• Once the period ends, it will automatically move to the Inactive list.

When an employee submits a leave request within a blocked period, a pop-up message will appear and prevent the request from being submitted.
