Leave requests checked, approved and counted in one place.
Employees apply against their balance. Praxis checks it, the line manager approves, HR gives final approval if you want two steps, and unpaid leave reduces days paid automatically.

The statuses a leave request moves through. HR pending appears only when two-step approval is on.
What it does.
Praxis checks every request before it reaches an approver, keeps balances accurate, and tells everyone what happened at each step.
Applying
- Each request checked against the balance, including days held by pending requests
- Overlapping requests blocked
- Leave types limited by gender and employment type
- A supporting document uploaded where the leave type needs one
Approving
- One-step approval by the line manager, or two steps with HR final approval
- The final approver must be a different person from the first
- HR can file leave on someone's behalf
After approval
- HR can cancel approved leave and restore the balance
- Postpone or extend approved leave
- Unpaid leave reduces days paid in payroll
Balances and types
- Paid or unpaid types with days per year and different entitlements by employment type
- Initialise balances for the year and adjust them with a reason
- Carry balances over at year end, up to a cap
