What to do in the case that a user is unable to request leave of a certain type

Updated over a year ago

If a user is unable to request leave of a certain type, because it does not appear in the dropdown, there are a few things that can cause this:

  1. The employee has no balance for this leave type

  2. The Leave Type does not apply to the user

No leave balance

The user does not have a leave balance for this leave type. To check this, go to their staff profile and navigate to the ‘leave requests’ tab.

You should also check that the ‘prevent leave requests for this type’ setting is not enabled in the leave type:
