Overview

The HR Leave Employee Manager module enhances the leave request process in Odoo by modifying the domain applied to the employee_id field. With this module, the field only shows:

• The current employee (if the user is linked to an employee record).
• Employees managed by the current employee (employees for whom the current employee is the leave_manager_id).

This ensures that managers can only create leave requests for their own team, improving usability and enforcing better data control.

Features

• The employee_id field on leave requests (model hr.leave) is restricted to:

  • The current user’s employee record.
  • Employees for whom the current user is the leave_manager_id.

• Form view inheritance to ensure the employee_id field is always visible and applies the correct domain dynamically.

Usage

1. Install the Module:

   • Install the HR Leave Employee Manager module from the Apps menu.

2. Go to Leave Requests:

   • Navigate to Time Off > Managers > Time Off.

   • Create a new leave request.

   • In the Employee field, you will only see:

     • Yourself (if you are an employee).
     • Employees who have you set as their Leave Manager.

3. Simplified Selection:

   • Managers will only see their team members, simplifying the creation of requests on behalf of employees.

Configuration

No additional configuration is required to use this module.

Testing

1. Link a user to an employee record.

2. Set that employee as the leave_manager_id of some other employees.

3. Log in with that user and try to create a leave request.

4. Verify that the employee_id field only shows:

   • The current employee.
   • The employees managed by that employee.
