Whenever an employee applies for a leave, he/she must select a valid reason for the leave. Configuring reasons for applying leave refers to the process of setting up and customizing the options or categories for employees to select when they apply for leave. It involves defining the reasons or explanations that employees can choose from when requesting time off.

The Leave Reason page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to configure various reasons in the application.
You can add the leave reason for multiple leave types and leave schemes. employees can then select these reasons from a dropdown list while applying for leave in their ESS portal. The page also displays the list of existing reasons.
