Setting them up
Go to Settings → Leave types to define the categories employees can request. Each type carries its own balance, so vacation and sick leave never draw from the same pool.
Choosing your list
Keep it short. Every extra type is another decision at request time and another balance to explain. Most small teams need four or five:
- Vacation / annual leave — the main allowance.
- Sick leave — often with different accrual and carryover rules.
- Unpaid leave — tracked for the calendar and payroll, usually with no balance.
- Parental leave — statutory, and usually granted per event rather than accrued.
Unlimited types
A leave type can be marked unlimited, which turns off balance enforcement for it. Requests still need approval and still show on the calendar — there's just no cap to run into. You can set a suggested annual figure, which appears when someone checks their balance as a gentle nudge about what “normal” looks like.
