Managing leave policies efficiently is crucial for the smooth functioning of any organization, especially in higher education institutions (HEIs) where faculty, staff, and administrative needs are diverse. Leave Management V2.2.0 from Digiicampus is designed to simplify and automate leave policies while ensuring compliance with institutional rules. This enhanced system provides a more user-friendly approach to managing leaves, helping HEIs maintain operational continuity, and giving faculties and administrators better control over their time off.
Key Features of Digiicampus’ Leave Management System
1. Leave Policy Creation & Customization
Institutions can now create tailored leave policies to fit their specific needs by setting customizable leave-type rules, including credit eligibility, application restrictions, and encashment options. Policy-wide rules such as leave debits and restrictions can also be defined, incorporating factors like gender applicability and minimum service requirements.
Additionally, the Sandwich Rule actively deducts non-working days, such as weekends between two leave days, from the total leave count, enhancing comprehensive leave management.

2. Leave Application Restrictions
Digiicampus introduces several key restrictions to enhance compliance and streamline leave management. It limits backdated applications to ensure adherence to deadlines and enforces the submission of mandatory supporting documents for specific leave types. Certain leave types will be restricted to HR-only applications, making them invisible to employees. Additionally, employees will not be able to cancel approved or partially approved leave requests.
3. Leave Limits & Overdraft
Set notice periods to restrict leave applications within a specific time frame, ensuring proper planning and coordination. Moreover, you can enable leave overdraft up to a specified limit, allowing greater flexibility without disrupting workflows.
4. Carryover & Encashment
Digiicampus allows the definition of maximum and minimum leave limits that faculty and staff can take in one stretch or within a specific period, such as monthly, half-yearly, or yearly. Faculty and staff have the option to encash unused leaves, providing flexibility in leave management. Customizable settings allow for limits on the number of leaves that can be cashed out, ensuring control over the process.
5. Notice Period Enforcement
To ensure compliance with mandatory notice periods, users will be restricted from submitting leave applications during these times. This prevents any leave requests from being processed while the notice periods are in effect.
6. Capping & Academic Dependencies
Establish maximum leave stretches or monthly limits to regulate time off and ensure that leave applications cannot be approved until all academic responsibilities are met. This promotes accountability and guarantees that essential duties are completed before any leave is taken.
7. Logs & Policy Versions
Users can keep track of policy changes through logs, enabling them to view older versions of leave policies for reference and clarity.
