What should a leave request include?
Include the employee, leave type, dates, reason when required, coverage plan, and the person responsible for approval.
Can different leave types ask different questions?
Yes. Conditional logic can reveal policy-specific fields without making every employee answer every question.
Can managers be notified automatically?
Yes. Connect the response to notifications or an approval queue so requests do not stay buried in email.
