An effective leave management system is an important component of any office or organization. An effective leave management system will enable management in calculating salary, paid leaves, paid offs, and other types of leave. It will also assist employees by allowing them to accelerate the processing of their leave applications.
With a Time-Off Module, Odoo ERP makes it simple to manage leave. The time off module, which includes a calendar and Gantt view, makes it easy to see how many leaves were taken in a week and month. The Year tab has been added to Odoo 14 as a new feature. This will allow the user to compute the amount of time spent on leave for a year.
The Time Off calendar in Odoo can be viewed in two distinct ways. They're listed below:
List View
Calendar View
Odoo makes creating leave requests straightforward. Users can create leave in Odoo by going to the My Time Off menu, which has options for requesting time off as well as allocating time at the Manager level.
On the Time Off Dashboard, the user can get a calendar view of all of an employee's leaves.
Creating a Time-off request
Users can simply apply for leave using the odoo time-off module. For creating a time-off request follow these steps:
My time-off →My time-off request →Create
Allocation Request
The allocation request is a feature that an employee may find useful in certain circumstances. When an employee needs specific permission to take time off, this feature can be used. An employee, for example, may only take ten casual leaves per year. If the person wishes to take 13 days off, he will need special permission. The employee can achieve this by using the Allocation Request Feature.
For allocation requests follow these steps:
My time-off →My allocation request → Create
User must send requests for approving paid or unpaid leave, as well as legal leave, to Allocation.
Users can establish different leave types with Odoo by using the Time Off Types feature.
For creating a new time odoo type, follow the steps:
Time-off →Configuration →Time-off types
By checking the required fields, the user can establish a leave type.
Odoo allows users to choose the type of leave and the number of hours that must be taken. They can indicate whether it is a full day, half-day, or even the number of hours necessary. In addition, the user can modify the request's validity and the Allocation request mode.
This will allow the manager to approve the employee's request or handle it according to the Time Off Officer's instructions. Users also have multiple approval levels for time off requests, such as No Validation, By Time Off Officer, By Employee's Manager, By Employee's Manager, and Time Off Officer.

The manager may simply review the leave applications with Odoo. The manager can review the leave requests and make a decision. He has the option of approving or rejecting the request. The manager's comment can also be included. The manager can also report the leave-in payslips this way.
