Sandwich Leave Detection
Spot leaves that bundle a weekend into the break.
Auto-flag bridging requests · Form, list, kanban & search · Optional balance deduction
Odoo 19 $24.99 · OPL-1 For HR Managers 9 LanguagesOne day off, three days gone.
Friday-only leaves with a Monday return are how a single PTO day quietly becomes a four-day weekend. Native Odoo treats them like any other request — HR has no way to spot the pattern, let alone push back on the deducted balance.
Without this module
A Friday leave deducts 1 day. The same Friday + Monday leave deducts 2 days. The fact that the employee bridged a weekend in either case is invisible — HR can't audit, can't deduct, can't even see the pattern.
With this module
Every bridging leave gets an orange "Sandwich Leave" ribbon, a list-view filter, and an optional balance toggle. HR sees the pattern, audits the count, and chooses whether to deduct the bridged days.
See it in action
Real leave requests, the ribbon on the form, the audit total on the list.
Orange ribbon on the form. Any leave that abuts a weekend or non-working block with a working day on the far side gets the warning ribbon — spotted before HR even scrolls.
Sandwich and bridged-days columns in the list. Sortable, filterable, and the row decoration turns warning-yellow on every match so they pop without a second look.
One-click filter. A built-in «Sandwich Leaves» filter in the standard time-off search — one click narrows the queue to every bridging request, sortable by date, employee or department.
Optional balance deduction. A single HR-settings toggle. Off by default — the ribbon is informational only. Flip it on and the bridged non-working days are added to the deducted balance.
Audit-friendly group-by. Group the queue by «Sandwich» and Odoo sums the bridged-days column per group. The total reclaimed across the month, in one line, before opening a single record.
What it does
Every hr.leave request is scanned on save. If it abuts a non-working block (weekend, public holiday) with a working day on the far side, it's flagged.
An orange "Sandwich Leave" ribbon appears on the leave form whenever the flag is true. Tooltip explains exactly what triggered it.
A "Sandwich Leaves" filter and a group-by appear in the standard time-off search. Pull up the month's sandwich requests in one click.
Each sandwich leave records exactly how many non-working days it bridges. Audit-ready, exposed as a sortable column.
A single HR-settings toggle. When on, the bridged non-working days are added to the deducted leave balance. When off (default), the flag is informational only.
Uses the employee's resource.calendar, so a 4-day-week schedule, a non-Western workweek, or a public-holiday block all count correctly.
Available in 9 Languages
The detection speaks your team’s language. Each user sees button labels, the form ribbon and search filters in their own Odoo language setting — no extra setup.
