= Leave
+Generally each of your employees will be allowed to take a certain amount of
+time off work on an annual basis. This time-off work can be called leave,
+holiday or vacation. The amount and type of leave they can take may depend on
+their job position or how long they have worked for you.
+
+You may also allow your employees special leave such as days off when they are
+ill (sick leave), time off during pregnacy or birth of a child (maternity or
+paternity leave) or time off to attend a funeral (bereavement leave).
+
+OFBiz allows you to setup a range of different leave types and categories to
+cover many situations.
+
+In all cases the employee will need to request the date (or dates) they would
+like to take as leave. Next the manager of the employee will need to approve the
+ leave request. Once approved the employee can then take the leave.
+
+In the OFBiz Human Resources application:
+
+* Employees can schedule or a leave request
+* Managers can create leave requests on behalf of an employee
+* Managers can approve, reject or delete employee leave requests
+
+NOTE: Users with Human Resource Approver permission can only approve a leave
+request. To update or delete a leave request, you will need to have Human
+Resources Administration permission.
