Quick answer

What does a leave management system do?

It turns company leave policy into a visible workflow: calculate a request, route it to the right reviewer, update the authorized calendar and retain the ledger entry that explains the balance.

Math before submit

Show what counts while the dates are still editable.

A request should reveal holidays, weekly offs, half-days, armed sandwich treatment and the resulting balance before the employee commits.

Balance explainability

A balance is the total of visible ledger movements.

Accruals, requests, carry-forward, opening imports and HR adjustments remain separate entries with their source and policy version.

Leave FAQ

Questions to answer before moving leave out of spreadsheets.

What is a leave management system?

It is software that applies company leave policies to requests, calculates the units and balance impact, routes decisions, records the outcome and keeps balances and history available to authorized users.

Can a company configure different leave policies?

LekhaHR is designed around effective-dated plans and scoped assignments. A company policy may be more generous than the applicable statutory floor, but it should not silently weaken mandatory protections.

Will employees see the balance impact before applying?

The planned request flow shows selected dates, holidays or weekly offs, counted units, relevant policy treatment and balance after before submission.

How are leave balances calculated?

Balance is derived from an append-only ledger of accrual, consumption, carry-forward, opening balance and reasoned adjustment entries. Each row retains its source.

Does LekhaHR automatically pay leave encashment?

No. Leave can produce reviewed pending-encashment or balance facts. Payroll owns money calculation, review and payout after its release gate.

Can managers see protected or medical leave details?

Ordinary reporting hierarchy does not automatically reveal protected leave kind, medical facts or documents. Scheduling views use the minimum authorized absence projection.
