How to manage staff leave
A clear leave process for hospitality teams: request, approve, keep the roster honest, and avoid double-booking.
Updated 2026-10-05
A leave process that protects the roster
- Staff submit leave with dates and type — not a private chat message
- Managers approve or decline with the roster week in view
- Conflicts with published shifts are resolved before the week goes live
- Balances and history stay available for the next request
Common failure modes
- Leave approved in email but never removed from the roster
- No visibility of overlapping requests on the same role
- Staff unsure whether a request was seen
