Entering leave
To place an employee on leave:
- select the employee in question from the drop-down list
- select the leave’s period
- select the absence account that this leave will use
- determine who will be notified when this leave is submitted
- enter a comment if applicable
- click Save
Cancelling or modifying leave
To cancel or modify leave:
- select the employee in question from the drop-down list
- select the leave in question
- tick ‘Delete leave’ or ‘Modify leave’ as needed
- (if you tick ‘Modify leave’, you can select the absence account that this leave will use)
- determine who will be notified when this leave is submitted
- enter a comment if applicable
- click Save
Entering recurring leave for an employee, such as part-time medical leave
The steps are the same as for traditional leave, except you will also tick the ‘recurring leave’ box to show recurrence options. This allows you to specify the frequency of the recurrence (every week, every other week), choose a day of the week on which the leave is placed (every Friday, for example) and indicate whether the absences are all day or just in the morning or afternoon.
The employee’s schedule will provide a preview of the leave that will be submitted. You can check that everything looks right before saving.
Take, for example, part-time medical leave: one of your employees is part-time medical leave from 2 to 31 January. They will only be working mornings and will be absent afternoons.
Another common example: an employee takes Compensation every other Friday.
FAQs
Why is the account not displayed in the list of leaves?
You can choose which counters appear in this drop-down list from the account settings (‘Configure -> Accounts’). The setting ‘The account appears in the Schedule management module’ must be set to yes.
Accounts in the ‘Congés nécessitant un arrêt de travail / Leaves requiring a doctor’s certificate’ category do not appear in the drop-down list if the ‘Enter a doctor’s certificate’ permission is not enabled. Click here for the corresponding help page.
