Initial Setup

Setting different types of leave

Timetastic can deal with as many different types of leave as you need. It comes preloaded with these seven:

  • Holiday
  • Unpaid Leave
  • Sick Leave
  • Maternity
  • Paternity
  • Meeting
  • Compassionate

You can add, edit or delete leave types by heading:

SETTINGS > LEAVE TYPES.

 

Adding a leave type

There's also options for whether the leave should deduct from an employees annual allowance, need approval or should be included in a department's maximum absent.

You can customise the icon and colour shown for the leave type, making it easier to understand your Wallchart and Calendar at a glance.

Deleting a leave type does not alter or remove any historical bookings or data on your account, however users won't be able to book any more against that leave type.

 

Maximum Absent

If you've got maximum absent enabled for a department (see: Maximum absent - maintaining minimum staffing levels ), the checkbox against a leave type will include or exclude it from that check.
