Leave Types

Default Leave Types

Who's OOO ships with a set of common leave types pre-configured:

• Vacation — standard paid vacation, tracked against an annual balance
• Sick Leave — unplanned absence due to illness
• Parental Leave — maternity, paternity, or adoption leave
• Conference — time away for conferences and professional events

These can be renamed, disabled, or extended with additional types from the admin panel.

Creating a Custom Leave Type

In the admin panel, navigate to Settings → Leave Types and click Add type. Each type has the following fields:

• Name — what employees see when submitting a request (e.g. "Study leave")
• Icon — a visual identifier shown alongside the leave type
• Affects balance — whether the type counts against the employee's annual allowance
• Background colour — background colour used in the team calendar
• Border colour — border colour used in the team calendar
• Text colour — text colour used in the team calendar

Setting Allowances

For types that affect balances, individual allowances can be set per employee from their profile in the admin panel.

Balances reset on the 1st of January each year.
