Leave Balance

LabRota tracks each staff member's leave entitlement and usage for annual leave (and optionally other types).

Viewing balances​

Open any staff member's profile and click the Leave tab to see their current balance:

  • Entitlement — total days allocated for the year
  • Used — days already taken
  • Remaining — entitlement minus used

Setting entitlements​

Editors can set or adjust a staff member's annual leave entitlement from their profile. The default entitlement is configured in Settings → HR.

Overflow leave​

If a staff member has used all their annual leave balance, LabRota can automatically draw remaining days from another configured leave type (e.g. a special "extra days" allowance). You'll see a preview of this when creating a leave entry.
