# Manage leave

Set the rules that govern paid time off, then approve or decline the requests your team sends in. Every approval moves hours through a ledger you can audit any time.

Three things live here:

- **Leave policies** — the rulebook. How leave is tracked (balance, spell, or unlimited), how it accrues, what carries over, how illness spells link.
- **Leave requests** — the queue. Pending requests waiting on a manager, and the approve / decline / revoke workflow that moves them forward.
- **Leave transactions** — the ledger. Every grant, accrual, booking, reversal, and carry-over, with signed amounts.

Workers don't see this category — they request leave from their own pages under {doc}`/for-shift-workers/index`. You handle the review.
