Before you ask employees to apply for leave, you need to create a Leave Policy. To create/edit the leave policy, click on the settings icon.

This will take you to the leave policy. Now, you need to create a leave period & leave type for the policy.

Go to "Leave Period". Click on "+ Add Leave Period". Select the duration you want for the leave period. For most organizations, it will likely be the calendar year or the fiscal year.

Go to "Leave Type". Click on "+ Add Leave Type" to add a leave type. It can be casual leave, earned leave, sick leave, etc. You can add any custom leave type from here. Give it a name & choose a color. You can also add a description for that leave type.

You can add more types by clicking on "+ Add Leave Type". You can also edit using the edit/delete buttons on the right.

Now, go to "Leave Policy" and click on the "Create Your First Policy" button.

It will open a pop-up. Now, select the leave type, give it a name, and choose the number of days for this leave type. You can also choose whether to allow negative balance, require approval, and if leave can carry over to the next leave period.
Go over these carefully and then click on the "Create Leave Policy" button to create it.

After you have created the leave policy, assign members to this Leave Policy.
