1. Identification
  • If a leave request falls on a high-impact operational day, this policy applies.
2. Quorum Check
  • Managers verify whether approving the leave would breach quorum thresholds.
3. Role Coverage Check
  • Managers ensure critical roles remain covered.
4. Approval Logic
  • Leave approvals are generally processed on a first-come basis, subject to quorum.
  • No team may fall below its defined quorum.
5. Transparency
  • Decisions are documented without attributing intent or misconduct.
