Leave Requests by Hours
It is also possible to submit leave using Total Hours or Hours Per Day. To do this you must first enable the setting 'Request new leave by hours (all entries entered with hours will not feature in the leave portal if enabled). Not recommended for time and attendance users.' from Payroll and Leave > Main > Settings > Payroll > Leave. Please note this is not suitable for T&A employees.
This will enable 2 fields, 'Total hours' and 'Hours per day', when the selected Leave Hour Schedule Detail is set to be with 'variable hours'.
Tip: For those using this new setting we would recommend to set the Leave Hour Schedule Detail set with 'variable hours' as the default Leave Hour Schedule to use on employees. You can do this by going to Payroll > Leave Hour Schedule > Dates tab > Details tab, editing the required schedule and ticking 'Set as default'. Only one schedule can be set as the default.
Examples:
Applying for several hours on one specific day, the user would enter the number of hours in 'Hours per day'.
Applying for more hours on one day than the employee's maximum daily hours to represent leave taken unequally over a period of time, such as a month. In the example below, the user has entered the total leave hours taken during April, 10, in 'Total hours', and left a note in the 'Remarks' box.
Applying for several hours to be taken equally over a range of time. For example, the below shows an application for Out of Office for the days 02/05/2022 till 06/05/2022, for which the employee has requested 4 hours daily.
