**Your Company → Vacation** manages the company's vacation processes centrally. Employees submit requests and manage their absences, while managers review approvals, available days, capacity, and staffing.

## How it works

### Plan and adjust vacation days

Each employee has a leave account with an annual entitlement. Leadtime calculates prorated adjustments automatically for events such as joining during the year or a changed entitlement.

See [Leave Accounts](/company/leave-management/leave-accounts).

### Request and approve vacation

Employees can submit requests from their profile, daily time statistics, or the Team Calendar.

- **Employees:** Choose the dates and submit the request.
- **Managers:** Review all requests together and approve or reject them with capacity and overlapping absences visible.

See [Request and Approve Vacation](/company/leave-management/requests).

### History and statistics

Leadtime records every request, approval, and adjustment. Employees and managers can always see used, remaining, and approved days.

### Vacation compensation

Carry unused days into the next year, pay them out, or convert overtime into additional vacation. Every adjustment remains visible in the history.

See [Vacation Compensation](/company/leave-management/compensation).

### Team Calendar

The Team Calendar shows every planned absence, making staffing gaps easier to identify before approving a request.

Go to [Team Calendar](/team-calendar).
