I find it is automatic...just give an order to move to a place where they can do shore leave and it happens.
As for your question on how to extend crew endurance in the design page of a class you will find in the upper left corner a box for months of endurance. It starts at 3, and I'd recommend increasing it. The NCN uses 18 months as a standard for a naval ship, and 24 months as a standard for a civillian ship or BuSurvey vessel. It is rare that a civillian ship uses its full endurance but it is actually just role playing that the civillian crew quarters are more spacious plus at one time it was a 12 month trip to Alpha-C and a lot of things on my civillian ships are based to the standard of "the Earth-Faewald Run."
I don't get annoying messages on ships since my usual deployments are 12 months long for NCN military, 18-20 months for BuSurvey, and my civillians I just stage them forward for role playing purposes. If the endurance is 3 months...yes that would become a bit of PITA though.
