Make sure your substitute is available

You can now control what happens when someone chooses a substitute who is on leave when submitting a leave request.

Previously, the system always blocked such requests – even during the holiday season, when finding an available substitute was difficult. Now you have a choice:

• Block the request: Don't allow the request to be submitted if the substitute is absent.
• Display a warning: Show a warning, but allow the request to be sent.

Example: Anna submits a leave request and chooses Mike as her substitute. If Mike is absent during that period, the system will block Anna's request or display a warning – depending on your settings.

👉 Configure in Leave Types → Restrictions

The restriction works separately for each leave type. For existing clients, we've set "Block" as the default to maintain current workflows.
