How do I manage employee leave?

You set leave policies, your team requests time off against them, and managers approve — each from its own section in Nassima.

To set up a leave policy, go to the Employees section and open the Policies tab. A policy needs:

• Effective start date
• Paid leave types and their allowances
• Unpaid leave types

You can also set an end date for the policy, define working weekdays and company days off, and scope the policy to your whole business, or narrow it to a specific company or branch.

Employees submit their own time-off requests from Employee Services, so you're not entering leave on their behalf. A request needs:

• Leave type
• Start date
• End date

They can add a reason and attach supporting documents, and the end date has to fall on or after the start date. Someone with HR proxy access for that employee's branch can also file a request on their behalf.

You review requests from the Requests tab in Employees. Approving one takes just an optional note. Rejecting one needs a reason — Nassima requires it before the rejection goes through. A request can still be cancelled while it's pending review, but not once it's been approved or rejected.

Balances are tracked per employee, per leave type, per calendar year, so you always know what someone has left before you approve or deny.

Leave requests, approvals, and policy changes all go through these sections directly — this isn't yet something you can ask Nassima to handle for you through WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.
