Types of leave

What is Types of leave?

Types of leave are the categories of time off a company recognises - such as annual leave, sick leave, parental leave, and unpaid leave - each with its own rules for entitlement and approval.

Common categories include annual (holiday) leave, sick leave, public holidays, parental and maternity or paternity leave, compassionate leave, and unpaid leave. Which ones apply, and how generous they are, depends on country law and company policy.

An HR tool does not need every category to be useful, but it should track the main ones cleanly. HREvio focuses on annual and sick leave - balances, accrual, carryover - plus a public-holiday calendar for 48 countries.
