Leave Policy is a set of rules that you select when taking leave. Each policy consists of properties such as name, applicable members, working hours per day, leave duration, whether it is paid, allowance for negative balance, and requirement for a reason.
To create leave policies:
- Go to Settings > Leave > Create new policy
2. Fill out the details
Let's break down each property to understand what they stand for.
- Time unit
When you select days, you will need to add the duration of policy in days, and in hours if you select hours.
Note that you cannot edit the Time unit property after creating the policy.
- Duration
Shows how long members can take leave with this policy - Payment
Shows whether members will get paid while on leave with this policy - Allow negative balance
If set to yes, it means members can take leave days even if their leave balance is at 0. - Reason
If set to required, it means members will need to specify the reason for requesting leave.
Workspace-wide leave settings
To manage workspace-wide leave settings:
- Go to Settings > Leave > Workspace tab
In the first setting, if you select One duration for all and change the Time unit from days to hours or hours to days, the change will affect existing Leave Reports and might result in slight differences. Existing requests will maintain their units.
