Leave management, balances and public holidays
When a leave request is created, NXORA shows the total calendar days, excludes weekends and public holidays, then shows the net days deducted from the balance — and warns you about an exceeded balance or an overlapping request before approval, not after.
How it works
- 1
Define leave types
Paid or unpaid, annual entitlement, and who is eligible.
- 2
Load public holidays
A ready template per country, with Islamic holidays calculated automatically.
- 3
Approve requests
Approval flows straight into timesheets and payroll.

Frequently asked questions
- Does a public holiday consume leave balance?
- No. Public holidays and weekends are excluded from the net leave days automatically.
- Do holidays differ by country?
- Yes. You pick your country template, and Islamic holidays are computed dynamically rather than kept as a fixed list.
