How does leave management work?

Leave uses a request → approval → balance workflow. Go to HR → Leave. Request: click New Request, pick the employee, the type (annual, sick, unpaid, other) and the dates, and submit. The system counts working days (Monday–Friday) automatically, so a Friday-to-Monday request is 2 days, not 4. Approve or reject: pending requests show approve and reject buttons. Approving deducts the days from that employee's balance and records them in attendance. Rejecting (or later cancelling an approved request) returns the days to the balance. Balances: each employee has an annual entitlement (default 20 days). Their balance is entitlement minus approved days taken this year; pending days are shown separately. The balance panel shows everyone at a glance.
