# Configuring Leave Types

Define the leave categories and rules used by your organisation before employees submit requests.

## 1. Confirm leave policies

List the leave categories, eligibility rules, entitlements and approval responsibilities approved by your organisation.

## 2. Create leave types

Add clear names for each category and configure the available settings in line with company policy.

## 3. Review employee assignments

Check which employees are eligible for each category and confirm opening balances where applicable.

## 4. Check a sample request

Review the request and approval workflow, then verify the effect on the employee’s leave balance.
