Add a specific leave type in hours rather than days

An employee’s ability to add leave in hours or days depends on their holiday entitlement template, not the absence class setting.

When adding leave, the employee's holiday entitlement template will determine if leave is added in days or hours.

It is not possible to set up an absence class to be added in hours or days, as this will always be based on the entitlement template of each employee.

For example, it is not possible to set up Unpaid Leave so that all employees can add it in hours rather than days. If an employee's entitlement is set up as days, they will only be able to add Unpaid Leave in days. If their template is set as hours, they will only be able to add Unpaid Leave in hours.

Check the holiday entitlement of an employee

To determine if an employee's holiday entitlement is in days or hours:

  1. Search for the employee and go to their profile.

  2. Click Absence and then Leave.

  3. Click Edit Current Holiday Entitlement.

  4. Take a look at the Days or Hours field to determine if the template is in days or hours.

  5. Click Save without making any changes.
