Adding a leave for an employee can be done in three different places:
- In the Work Calendar and Leave section of their personnel record by clicking on the Add Leave Request button.
- In the Leave Request section of the Personnel menu by clicking on the Add Leave Request button.
- In the Leave Summary section of the Personnel menu by clicking on the Add Leave icon next to them Employee’s name.
Enter the type of leave; the type of deduction, if needed; and the start and return dates which must be within the work calendar start and end dates. Other information such as employee and admin comments can also be entered.
Once the start and return dates are entered, the system will generate an “event” for each day, using the calendars to determine if the date is a work day or not. This analysis is done to calculate the number of days or hours the leave is for. If needed, you can make detail changes in the Leave Events list for each day of the leave for the Deduction Type and whether it is a Paid leave date or not.
The default status for a new leave request is “Requested” but if it has already been approved, then click on the Granted box to approve the leave.
