Absence Policies: Absence Policy Restrictions

Within an Absence Policy, you can associate restrictions so that employees are limited to what leave they are able to book during a certain period of time.

  This feature is ideal for organisations which experience busier 'months' for example. Within StaffCircle you can restrict this so that employees cannot book leave during this period of time, or they are restricted to how much leave they are able to take.

Step One

After opening the Absence Policy, navigate to the ABSENCE POLICY RESTICTIONS section to the right of the page.

Step Two

Click the ADD button within the box, this will open the ADD ABSENCE POLICY RESTRICTION pull-out drawer to the right-hand side.

Step Three

Enter the date range (period) in the Effective From/To fields i.e a specific month. Then set the Maximum Consecutive Days/Hours that can be booked in that period.

  For example: if you were to restrict the entire month of April so that no employees with this absence policy could book holiday. You would need to specify the month of April in the date ranges, and add 0 in Maximum Consecutive Days

Step Four

Click the SAVE button to add the restriction to the absence policy.

  The restriction will apply when the employee attempts to book an holiday during this period of time, however the employee will not be notified of the reason why this has been restricted.
