How to setup Time off (Leave) Module on new site?

Every organization has its leave types and leave policies. You can set up your entire time off (leave) management in the Truein time off(leave) module.

If your organization has different leave policies for different categories of staff, then follow steps 1.1 and 1.2; else, skip these steps.

E.g. Permanent staff is eligible for 12 casual leaves a year; Intern staff is eligible for 6 casual leaves, and Temporary staff is not eligible for any casual leave.

 

Step 1.1: Setup Categories (Optional)

Step 2: Define Leave Types

You can define company-specific leave types such as Privilege Leave/Casual Leave/Sick Leave etc.

Please check the following link for setting up the leave types: https://truein.com/faqs/leaves/how-to-setup-leave-types-2/

 

Step 3: Define Leave Policies

You can define the leave policies for each leave type. E.g.,

  • Privilege Leave (PL) for permanent staff is 12 per year and will be allotted a month after a staff member completes 180 days of service.
  • The sandwich rule will be applied. 
  • An X number of PL can be carried forward to the next year.
  • PL is not entitled to temporary staff and interns.
