​
Overview

PTO & Leave Management (HR-06) is the organization’s hub for paid time off, sick leave, and protected leave. Open it from HR → Leave (route /hr/leave). The dashboard combines the signed-in employee’s own balances and requests with the manager-facing views for approvals, team coverage, and FMLA, so the same surface serves an individual checking their PTO and a manager planning around an absence.

​
The leave dashboard

The dashboard (/hr/leave) opens with a row of stat cards — My Balances, Pending Requests, Team Out, and Active FMLA — followed by widgets for the signed-in user’s balances, the approval queue, upcoming team coverage, and FMLA summaries.

​
My leave balances

The My Leave Balances widget shows the signed-in employee’s own current balance for each leave policy they accrue against — for example Paid Time Off and Sick Leave — with the current balance, pending hours, and available hours per type. Each card links straight into a new time-off request.

​
Leave types & policies

Each leave type is modeled as a policy that defines how time accrues and when it can be used: Policies carry approval requirements, minimum notice, and maximum consecutive days, so the request workflow can enforce the organization’s rules automatically.

​
Why a unified hub

  • Self-service first — employees see their own balances and submit requests without contacting HR.
  • Coverage at a glance — managers see pending approvals and who is out over the next several days from the same dashboard.
  • Compliance built in — FMLA cases and Arizona sick-time accrual are tracked alongside ordinary PTO rather than in a separate system.

Permissions

The screenshot above is generated automatically from the local end-to-end test lane (tests/e2e/hr/hr-06-leave-docs-shots.spec.ts, run via npm run docs:shots) against synthetic seed data. That spec also runs an auto-heal gate — it fails on any console error, page error, or HTTP ≥ 400 while driving the surface — and verifies HR-06 acceptance criterion AC-3 (the dashboard displays the employee’s current PTO balance per leave type), so the image reflects a clean, real render and is checked by the screenshot drift gate.
