      USE CASE (SIMPLE)

      Leave Application and Approval Process

      Description: Automating the leave management process to allow employees to request leave and receive approvals without manual intervention.

      Automation Steps:

      1. Employee Requests Leave: Employees fill out an online form specifying the type of leave (e.g., vacation, sick leave), dates, and any necessary details.

      2. Automatic Notification: Upon submission, the system automatically notifies the employee's manager(s) about the leave request.

      3. Manager Approval: Managers can review leave requests, approve or deny them directly within the system.

      4. Employee Notification: Once approved, the system notifies the employee of the approved leave.

      Benefits: Eliminates the need for manual paperwork and email communication, saving time for both employees and managers. Provides transparency into the leave approval process, with a clear record of requests and approvals. Reduces the risk of errors associated with manual data entry and communication.
