Leave policy

The Leave policy tab sets the yearly leave days and how the days of a leave request are counted.

From the side menu, open General › Settings, then click the Leave policy tab.

Fields

• Yearly days (employees) — the yearly leave days of an employee, from 0 to 366.
• Yearly days (managers) — the yearly leave days of a manager, from 0 to 366.
• Accrual catch-up limit — the most missed days one accrual run adds to balances, for example after the server was down (1 to 366).
• Skip weekend days — when on, leave requests do not count the weekend days set in Language and formats.
• Skip public holidays — when on, leave requests do not count the days listed in Public holidays.
• Longest leave request — the end date of a request may be at most this many days after its start (1 to 3650).

How to change the leave policy

1. Change the fields you need.
2. Click Save changes. To discard your edits, click Cancel.

Note

The yearly days here are used only when the leave type has no yearly days of its own. A leave type’s own default days are set in General › Transaction statuses.

Caution

The rules for skipping weekend days and public holidays apply to leave requests that employees send from the portal; transactions entered on the Transactions screen count every calendar day. Check with Human Resources before changing these rules.
