Redmine Leaves

A simple plugin for user leaves management. It allows user to check-in and check-out for attendance marking. Leave is marked for any user that does not check-in by the specified time. Administrator can define leave types via the administrative interface for the plugin.

Users with permission 'eligible_for_leave' are shown in the list. A report summary page similar to the Timesheet Plugin shows the leaves summary. Leaves are also integrated into the Calendar Module. User who does not check-in, is automatically marked as off after some cut-off period Leave Types are defined through Redmine settings. User can also view the check-ins/check-outs and allowed users can edit attendance too. Also, attendance can be imported in the form of csv files.

Redmine 3+ compatible.
