Leave.

A leave that's approved on paper but present on the register is two truths, not one.

• Leave policies

  Define paid and unpaid policies with an annual cap, role eligibility, and monthly allocations — with optional carry-forward and a carry-forward limit for the days nobody used.

• Balances & entitlements

  Every staff member carries a per-policy balance — total, used and remaining — kept per year and, where policies allocate monthly, broken down month by month so nobody over-draws.

• Half-day & custom slots

  Apply for a full day, half day, quarter day or a custom time window — and the balance is debited at the right value, 1.0, 0.5 or 0.25, not rounded up to a whole day.

• Student leave by parents

  Parents raise their child's leave from the app — a reason, the dates, and an optional supporting document or medical note attached, routed to the right approvers automatically.

• Multi-level approval chains

  Build the hierarchy per branch — each level a role or a named approver, with the maximum days that level may clear — so a short leave stops at the class teacher and a long one climbs to the head.

• Approval history

  Every decision is recorded — who acted, at which level, the comment, and the days requested at that moment — so the timeline shows exactly how a leave reached approved or rejected.

• Attendance conflict detection

  If someone on approved leave turns up and is marked present, the conflict is caught — and can auto-cancel, refund the balance, or split the leave to keep only the days actually taken.

• Notifications

  Tell people what they need to, the way they read it — email, WhatsApp or push — on submit, approval and rejection, with extra recipients for the desk that wants to be copied.

• 01 / 04

  Scoped by branch and academic session, exactly like the rest of the platform — staff balances reset by year, student leave is filed against the right session and class, and one campus's approval chain stays its own.

• 02 / 04

  On the same register as attendance. Leave is not a separate ledger that drifts. When an approved leave and a present mark collide, the conflict surfaces — auto-cancel, refund the day, or split the leave — instead of quietly disagreeing.

• 03 / 04

  On the same web, iOS and Android apps. A parent raises a child's leave from the phone; the class teacher clears level one between periods; the head signs off the rest from a desk. No separate leave login for anyone.

• 04 / 04

  Within reach of Sol, the AI agent. The same assistant that answers questions across the school sits over leave too — a quiet way to ask who's out this week or how many sick days are left, not a fourth tool to learn.

Why it's one register

Leave and attendance describe the same day. So they should never tell two different stories.
