How to Create Absence Types

Step 1: Open Absence Settings

From the main navigation menu, select Settings, then click Absence Settings.

Step 2: Add an Absence Type

On the Absence Types tab, click Add New.

Enter the required details for the new leave type (for example, “Jury Duty”). You can also specify which Pay Rate the absence should use, and which leave allowance it should deduct from, if applicable.

Additionally there is also a requestable field.  This is if you would like this absence to be requestable by employees within the Employee Portal. Selecting a colour will highlight this absence as specified when booked.

How to Set Leave Allowances

Step 1: Open the Leave Allowance Tab

In Absence Settings, select the Leave Allowance tab.

Step 2: Configure Entitlements

For each absence type, set the annual entitlement for employees.

You can specify whether the allowance is measured in hours or days.

Once done hit Submit to save. The entitlement will now be appliable to an employee within the Employee section under Leave.
