Overview
Leave time slots are predefined periods that you can set up for employees to select when booking leave on Talexio. This feature is particularly useful for recurring time blocks, such as:
- Morning: 08:00 - 12:00
- Afternoon: 12:00 - 17:00
Permissions
To set up time slots, the Manage Leave Types permission must be enabled at the global level. To book leave, employees must have the "Request Leave" permission, which should be granted based on the individual or group for whom leave can be booked (e.g., for self-booking, this permission should be set to "Self").

How to set up Leave Time Slots
- From the Leave section, select Time Slots.
- Click “Add Time Slot”.
- Fill in the required details:
- Name: Enter a name for the time slot (e.g., "Morning" or "Afternoon").
- Job Schedule: By default, all job schedules are selected. To apply the time slot to specific job schedules only, select the relevant schedules from the dropdown menu. This ensures that only employees on the chosen job schedules can use the time slots.
-
Time From and Time To: Specify the start and end times for the leave slot.
- Click “Save” to confirm the new time slot.
Multiple time slots can be added to a specific job schedule, making it easier and more efficient to book specific time slots throughout the day. This will help save time and ensure accurate scheduling for different tasks or shifts.
How to book leave with Leave Time Slots
The leave booking process will remain the same, with one addition: a new field called "Time Slots." To select the time slot, simply click the dropdown and continue as usual. Click here for instructions on how to book leave.
Allow Specific Leave Hours
The Leave Time Slots tab includes an “Allow specific leave hours” toggle. When the toggle is turned off, users will not be able to select specific hours when booking leave, even if time slots are not used. Instead, they can only choose full days or a predefined time slot (if set up).
