Who this is for

Before you start
Workspace admin role.
A Business+ plan for your workspace.
Default allowance days and optional extra approver decided for your team.
Steps
Open Calendar  Settings  Employee leave settings.
The feature settings hub opens on Annual leave.
Set Default allowance (days) for members joining the workspace.
Add an Extra approver if needed. Leave defaults to workspace admin approval.
Enable the Leave allowance panel under Plan sidebar in calendar settings so members see remaining allowance.
Optional: enable Tenure bonus to add extra allowance days after members reach configured years of service. Set days per year, first qualifying year, and an optional maximum cap.
Optional: enable Pro-rata allowance so members who join mid-year receive a proportional share of the annual allowance instead of the full default.
Select a Country / region and click Refresh holidays to import public holidays onto the team calendar.
What you should see
Members can request leave with the correct allowance. Public holidays appear on the calendar. Approvers receive requests based on your approval rules.
Troubleshooting
Employee leave settings is missing Only workspace admins see this option. Confirm your role under Workspace Settings  Team Management.
Holidays did not import Select the correct Country / region and click Refresh holidays again for the current year.
Member allowance looks wrong Adjust individual allowances from the Leave summary on the calendar when viewing that person. If pro-rata is enabled, mid-year joiners start with a proportional allowance.
Common questions
Can members see each other's allowance?

What is tenure bonus?
Extra allowance days granted after a member reaches configured years of service. Set the rules under Employee leave settings.
What is pro-rata allowance?
When enabled, members who join part-way through the leave year receive a proportional allowance based on their start date.
