what if an employee applies for leave in company\'s leave software & leaves headquarters before boss approves leave or without requesting boss for leave approval. Can the boss initiate any disciplinary action based on this.

The employee has applied for leave but was not sanctioned by the reporting manager, hence the reporting manager/HR can treat it as LWP/LOP

If an employee remains absent after applying for leave but without getting it sanctioned, his absence is treated as un-authorised. Though technically the conduct of the employee can justify disciplinary action more so if he is in the habit of doing this in the past,I suggest that you may issue him a warning letter advising him not to repeat this act in future. He may be sanctioned leave or may be marked LWP depending on the discretion management.

In my opinion, the term 'leave' refers to the leave of absence from work which means the permission to be away from work for some particular reason. Therefore, in the first place, leave can not be claimed as a matter of right; the employee has to apply earlier and seek the prior permission of the sanctioning authority.Of course, there are certain contingencies like small indisposition which can not be anticipated resulting in availing of leave for a shorter spell without prior permission.That's a rare thing to which no superior would be indifferent.But the incident like the one mentioned in the query exhibits a total disregard for authority and discipline on the part of the employee. Like Vadodara and Saikumar suggested, if it is the first such occasion the individual may be let off with a severe warning.
