Manage Annual Leave & Other Leave Requests Without Paperwork

05-10-2024

🤔 In our company, employees are required to submit a leave request form along with a reason when applying for annual leave or other types of leave. However, as the number of employees increases, managing leave requests has become overwhelming for administrators.

In particular, for leaves such as bereavement leave or sick leave, employees must submit supporting documents along with their request. As a result, the number of documents I need to manage keeps piling up.
