What SmartAcademy does in the background

The backend saves leave as pending, validates required date and half-day fields, and updates review status. When a staff leave is approved, SmartAcademy creates or updates the staff attendance record as leave or half-day for the approved dates.

Tips

• Use review comments so payroll and attendance teams understand changes.
• Approved leaves affect attendance totals used in payroll.
