Leave Reasons

The Leave Reasons feature in theBOSSapp is designed to give organizations more insight into why employees are requesting leave. By creating specific leave reasons, the organization can easily track and categorize different types of leaves, such as sick leave, vacation, or personal leave.

When creating leave reasons, you have the ability to mark the reason as ‘leave without pay’ and ‘treat as ordinary hours’.

Leave without Pay

Leave without pay means that in the pay run, the leave will not have any pay associated to it.
