Understanding Leave Types and Policies​

Entitlement Policies​

Each leave type has a specific entitlement policy that determines how the leave accrues and when it can be used. Here's a breakdown of the common policies:

  • Accrued Earn and Take (Anniversary): On this policy employees accrue leave as they work. The employee is entitled to this leave on their anniversary date. In some cases the employee may be able to take accrued leave before their anniverary date. This is controlled by the Use Accrued setting below.
  • Earn and Take Anniversary: Under this policy, leave is earned and can be taken immediately, with the accrual and usage tied to the employee's start date anniversary.
  • Take Only: This leave type is allocated in total at the beginning of a period and does not accrue over time. It is available for use from the date of allocation.
  • Earn and Take Irregular: Leave is earned based on irregular hours worked beyond the normal schedule. This leave can be taken as soon as it is earned, without waiting for any specific accrual period.

Balance Type​

The balance type indicates how the leave balance is stored and tracked:

  • Days: Leave balance is tracked in days, suitable for full-day absences.
  • Hours: Leave balance is tracked in hours, offering flexibility for partial-day absences.

Use Accrued​

The "Use Accrued" feature allows employees to use their accrued leave before reaching their entitlement date.
