Managing employee leave requests efficiently is crucial for maintaining smooth business operations. Horilla HRMS offers a sophisticated leave allocation system that empowers employees to request various types of leave while maintaining clear organizational hierarchies and approval workflows.
Whether it’s annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, or other types of time off, the system ensures a streamlined process for both employees and managers.
Each user level in the system plays a distinct role in the leave allocation process, creating a well-organized hierarchy that supports effective leave management.
From regular employees submitting requests to line managers reviewing them and HR administrators overseeing the entire process, the system maintains clear accountability.
Through Horilla HRMS‘s intuitive interface, employees can easily submit leave requests, check their leave balances, and track approval status, while managers can make informed decisions with the full context of team availability and department coverage.
Leave Allocation Workflow for Users

1. Submitting Leave Requests:
- Navigate to the Leave Allocation page to view all leave allocation requests and their status.
- Initiate your leave allocation process by accessing the request form through the Create button.

- Fill in the required fields:
- Leave Type: Select the type of leave.
- Employee: Only the logged-in user is displayed.
- Requested Days: Specify the number of days needed.
- Description: Add details about the leave request.
- Attachment: Include any supporting documents.
2. Managing Requests:
- Employees can edit or delete their requests until they are approved by the administrator.
- Once approved, the edit and delete options are disabled, and the leave type is allocated to the employee.
- For example, if Ella Jackson requests 20 days of Sick Leave, and the admin approves it, the leave type is added to her allocated leave types.

3. Tracking Allocated Leave:
- Navigate to the My Leave Requests page to view allocated leave types.
- Employees can only apply for leave types that have been allocated to them.

The Role of Reporting Managers in Leave Allocation
Reporting managers play a pivotal role in the leave allocation process, balancing their own requests with overseeing their team’s leave plans.
Their workflow is as follows:

1. Viewing Leave Requests:
- My Leave Allocation Requests Tab: Displays the manager’s personal leave requests.
- Leave Allocation Requests Tab: Shows all leave requests from their subordinates.
2. Managing Subordinate Requests:
- Reporting managers can edit, delete, approve, or reject their subordinates’ leave allocation requests.
- They can also create leave allocations for their team, selecting subordinate names from the employee field in the creation form.
This dual-view functionality ensures that managers can effectively manage their team’s availability while addressing their own leave needs.
