How Can Users Request a Past Leave?

Since we all know that sick days and leaves could have been previously taken, we've allowed you to set the option for Users to request past leaves :)

Users can submit requests for past leaves on the online dashboard, or using our bot within Slack or Microsoft Teams!

Enabling this setting is simple, and can be found in the Leave Policies section.

Here's how you can set this option:
