Leave Management
Leave Management in DreamzCMMS enables organizations to track, review, and manage employee leave requests — including vacation, sick leave, or other absence types — all within a centralized system. This feature provides a streamlined process for submitting requests, approving or rejecting leave, and maintaining accurate leave records for operational planning and payroll alignment.
Overview
The Leave Management module helps teams manage employee time off in a paperless, transparent, and auditable way. Instead of manual spreadsheets or email exchanges, employees can submit leave requests digitally, and managers can review and action them within the system. Leave balances, statuses, and history are visible at a glance, ensuring clarity and accountability.

How to Use Leave Management
Step 1 — Open Leave Management Section
From the navigation menu, click on People & Teams and navigate to User List to open the dashboard where leave requests and records are listed.
Step 2 — Submit a New Leave Request
Employees can create a new leave request by:
Clicking the New Leave Request button.
Entering required details such as:

Comments or reason for leave
Clicking Submit to send the request for approval.
Step 3 — Review Leave Requests (Manager/Supervisor)
Managers or supervisors with appropriate permissions will see submitted leave requests in the list. From here they can:

Rejected requests remain visible with comments explaining decisions.
Leave balances can be monitored to ensure compliance with company policy and payroll requirements.
