Leave Policies
Use Leave Policies to define which employees receive a leave entitlement, how much they receive, and when the rule applies.
Before you begin
- Create the related Leave Type.
- Confirm the policy for grade, employment type, probation, service period, accrual, and effective dates.
- Avoid overlapping rules unless the intended priority is clearly understood and tested.
Configure a policy
- Enter a clear Policy Name.
- Select the Leave Type.
- Restrict the policy by grade or employment type when required.
- Enter the annual entitlement and choose the accrual method.
- Set probation and minimum-service requirements.
- Enter effective-from and, when temporary, effective-to dates.
- Save and test the result with a representative employee.
Verify the result
- Review Leave Balance for employees who should receive the entitlement.
- Confirm employees outside the selected grade or employment type do not receive it.
- Check opening, accrued, used, and remaining balances after policy changes.
Important: Changing an effective-dated policy can alter leave balances. Test the rule before applying it to live employee records.
