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. 1

    Define leave types

    Paid or unpaid, annual entitlement, and who is eligible.

  2. 2

    Load public holidays

    A ready template per country, with Islamic holidays calculated automatically.

  3. 3

    Approve requests

    Approval flows straight into timesheets and payroll.

What's included

  • Configurable leave types with gender-based eligibility
  • Annual entitlement balances with used and remaining days per employee
  • Country holiday templates, with Islamic dates computed on the Umm al-Qura calendar
  • Net leave days after weekends and public holidays are excluded
  • Overlap protection between requests for the same employee
  • Unpaid leave deducted automatically in the payroll period
  • Lockable leave policies so rules cannot change retroactively

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.
