### **Allow leave requests beyond the remaining balance**

Step 1 - Go to Leave \> Settings

Step 2 - Select leave type

Step 3 - Look for the "**Customise leave requests**" section

Step 4 - Click on "**Edit**"

Step 5 - Toggle on to allow leave request beyond remaining balance/Toggle off to disable the setting, which will prevent employees from requesting leave when they have insufficient balance 

Step 6 - Click on **"Save"**

Note:

- Each of the leave types will require separate leave advanced settings
- When the toggle “Allow leave request beyond remaining balance” is off, employees can still proceed to apply for leave in past/future cycle even if they have insufficient balance in the current leave cycle. For example:

- Current cycle: 2024-01-01 ~ 2024-12-31 
    - The employee has 2 days of leave balance in the current leave cycle

- Employee requests for leave 
    - Leave request: 2023-12-28(Thu) ~ 2024-01-02(Tue), total of 4 days
    - 2 days from past cycle
    - 2 days from current cycle

- The system will reflect that the employee have 0 days entitlement for the current leave cycle

### Require attachment

Step 1 - Go to Leave \> Settings

Step 2 - Select leave type

Step 3 - Look for the "**Customise leave requests**" section

Step 4 - Click on "**Edit**"

Step 5 - Toggle on to enable mandatory attachment with leave request/Toggle off to disable mandatory attachment with leave request

- If you turn on settings to enable mandatory attachment with leave request, select either "Yes, employees can attach files afterwards." or "No, employees must attach files when they are making a request." to set up if employees can request for leave first without the attachment

Step 6 - Click on **"Save"**

Note: 

- If you enable mandatory attachment with leave requests and allow employees to attach files after making the leave request, do note that the respective approvers can still proceed with approvals
- The system will flag the missing mandatory attachment with an “!” icon
