Introducing the new Allow Booking Half-Day Leave Feature on BrioHR!

This new feature now provides the option to enable or disable booking half day leave on the system. Once this is enabled for the leave policies, the employees then will have the ability to choose between full-day and half-day leaves accordingly however once this option is disabled, the employees will only have the option to apply for full day leaves on the system. 


To view and manage the settings for this feature, please follow the below steps:

HR Lounge > Leave > Leave Policies > scroll down to Leave Advance Settings > Allow booking half day leave > Enable or Disable.

By default, this option is enabled on the system, but you may always choose to disable this option if required.


Part 1: Employee applying for leave based on setting chosen.

Scenario 1 - When Employee is applying for leave and booking half day is Enabled, the Morning and Afternoon only options are available



Scenario 2 - When Employee is applying for leave and booking half day is Disabled, the Morning and Afternoon only options are no longer available


Part 2: Admin applying for leave on behalf of the employee based on setting chosen.

Scenario 1 - When Admin is applying for leave on behalf of employee and booking half day is Enabled, the Morning and Afternoon only options are available



Scenario 2 - When Admin is applying for leave on behalf of employee and booking half day is Disabled, the Morning and Afternoon only options are no longer available



Scenario 3 - This option is only available to the Admin. If there are any special arrangements for the employe on an application basis or there are scenarios where the employee is allowed to apply for half day leave, this leave can be applied by the Admin on behalf of the employee on the system.

By clicking on Skip Validation - the Admin is now bypassing all the rules set up for the leave policy of the employee, this also includes the option of the half day leave booking.

Therefore, eventhough the policy has been set to Disable booking half day leaves, the Admin can click on Skip Validation and will have the option to choose the half day (Morning or Afternoon only) for the employee when applying for the leave.


Scenario 4 - Employee submits a leave on the system and the Half Day option is Disabled, then the Admin changes the option to Enable the Half Day leave - if the employee chooses to make a modification to their leave submitted, they will now have the option to select the Half Day option.

Kindly refer to the short video below for a clearer explanation on the scenario mentioned.



Scenario 5 - Employee submits a leave on the system and the Half day option is Enabled, then the Admin changes the option to Disable the Half Day leave - if the employee chooses to make a modification to their leave submitted, they will now no longer have the option to select the Half Day option.

Kindly refer to the short video below for a clearer explanation on the scenario mentioned. 



Notes:

1) If the changes are made before an employee submits their leave on the system, the option of half day will follow according to the setting chosen. However, if the setting is changed after, you will need to cancel the leave and have the employee reapply it on the system.  

2) If the leave type created consists of multiple policies, the changes will need to be individually done to all policies accordingly.
