Can the system flag the number of days applied for a specified leave bucket to require additional authorisation?

This applies to all PaySpace editions
No, the system does not have an option to automatically flag when an employee applies for a specific number of leave days. However, on the Leave Setup screen, there are an advance options to set a limit for leave applications.
Navigate > Config > Human Resources > Leave Administration > Leave Scheme Parameters > Advanced Options
Users can specify the maximum or minimum number of days in the provided field. If an employee needs to apply for more than the set limit, the number must be removed before submitting the request and re-added once the leave is approved.
