RotaCloud offers a full leave management system as part of your standard package. There are multiple different leave types which can be added with some behaving differently.

Who can add leave

Leave can be added by all Admin level users - both for themselves and all other staff. It can also be added by a Manager level user with the permission 'Manage leave and approve leave requests for others' and/or 'Manually add leave to themselves' for users assigned to the Locations they manage.


Holiday and Other Leave can also be requested by employees providing this setting is enabled.
