Last updated November 30, 2022 · Tushar Agarwal

On Duty Leave:

Apply for on duty leave if you are not available in the office on a given day because of official work. You can view the On duty leave tab only if the admin has enabled the configuration. Follow these steps to apply for on duty leave at employee level:

  1. Navigate to Main panel → Leaves → View/ apply.

  2. Click the On duty tab.

  3. Leave Period: Enter the Leave Period (the duration for which you are applying for On Duty leave).

  4. Reason: Enter the Reason for applying for 'On Duty Leave'.

  5. Choose the Document file related to your reason for applying for 'On Duty Leave'.

  6. Click Submit to request 'On Duty Leave', or click Reset to clear the details.

The entry is added to the list. Scroll down the page to view the list of On duty requests with details. You can delete a request using the option in the Actions column until the reporting manager/admin approves it.

On Duty Attendance Request:

Raise this request if you have to leave the office for a work-related purpose. You can view the On duty attendance tab only if the admin has enabled the configuration. Follow these steps to apply for on duty attendance at employee level:

  1. Navigate to Main panel → Attendance.

  2. Click the Request Attendance tab.

  3. The page that opens shows the fields for an attendance punch request.

  4. Attendance Date: Select the Attendance Date.

  5. Request Type: On Duty is selected by default.

  6. Punches: Enter punches in 24-hour format.

  7. Comments: Enter your Comments.

  8. Click Request to submit the request, or click Reset to clear the details.

The entry is added to the list. Scroll down the page to view the list of On duty attendance requests with details. You can delete only requests with a pending status, using the option in the Actions column, until the reporting manager/admin approves them.

The basic difference between the two is that if you are away from the office for the whole day, you apply for On Duty Leave, while if you leave the office for a fixed period of time, you raise an On Duty Attendance Request.
