Leave, absence and Bradford scores

Two pages cover time away from work: Workforce → Leave for planned leave, and Workforce → Absence & Bradford for sickness absence.

Leave

Workforce → Leave manages leave requests with an approve/reject workflow:

Requests — managers and admins raise and process leave requests (including entering leave on a staff member's behalf); staff can submit their own via My workforce.
Entitlements — per-staff leave balances tracked against your holiday year.
Month overview — who's away when, at a glance.
Team absence limits — requests are checked against limits so a whole team can't be off at once.
Leave types are configurable, and everything exports to CSV.

Approved leave automatically overlays the Rota planner, so you can't rota someone who's away.

Workforce → Absence & Bradford tracks sickness absence:

Bradford Factor scores per staff member — the standard measure that weights *frequent short* absences more heavily than rare long ones — with configurable trigger thresholds so you can apply your own HR policy.
The sickness episodes behind each score.
Return-to-work tracking.

Sensitive detail is deliberately excluded: the page works from dates and durations only, never the nature of the illness.
