Self Managed Leave
Self-managed leave is a new feature that has been introduced within the Trafio app. This feature allows your field workers to submit their leave requests for office staff to accept or reject. A new leave tab has been added within the app so that workers can see a monthly calendar view of any leave that they've requested that's been approved, rejected or still pending.
Allowing your field workers to submit leave requests is a new configurable feature that is turned off by default. While disabled, workers are able to view their leave that is inputted by the office staff and linked to a Visible by workers' leave type. Learn more about leave types here

Approving or rejecting leave
