Absence Settings: Company Settings

Within the Company Absence Settings, you can configure a number of different areas including your annual leave cycle.

To configure the Company Absence Settings area of the platform, navigate to the Holiday & Absence area of the platform in ADMINISTRATION mode and then select the SETTINGS tab.

🚀 If you are using our new menu feature, hover over the Holiday & Absence section of the side-bar, then navigate to:

Configuration ➡️ Settings

Select the Settings title and proceed with the rest of the guide.

In the Standard Year Starts and Holiday Year Ends enter the annual leave period i.e January - December, April-March.

The Default Hours per half day field will calculate how many hours are in a half day i.e 3.5 hours. This is particularly helpful for employees whose leave is calculated in hours.

The Use week hourly schedule toggle will allow you to define an employee's hourly work week. This can be configured at the employee's profile level.

To enable the Bradford Factor for your platform, switch on the Use Bradford factor toggle.

In the Default Holiday Request/Approval Note fields, you can pre-populate text for when an absence is logged in the platform. You can refer to this guide here for further information on where this appears.

The Include Calendar Invites for Holiday Requests toggle will include an .ics calendar invitation attachment to the absence approval email. This invitation is sent to both the employee and their manager.
