We're excited to introduce a new feature that allows employees to conveniently apply for leave on the same day as the reference day for credit leave. This functionality streamlines the process, allowing for efficient management of leave requests and improved employee experience.
Here's a simple guide to set up this functionality on the system:
1. Navigate to HR Lounge > Leave > Leave Policies.
2. Select the relevant leave type and policy.
3. Enable the option to "Allow booking leave on reference date."
Please note that this feature is applicable only for credit-based leave types.
This setting must be enabled BEFORE the employees can take advantage of same-day leave utilization.
If changes are made to the policy after a credit request has been submitted, the HR/Admin team will need to delete the existing credit request. Employees will then be required to resubmit their credit requests. Alternatively, the HR/Admin can assist by submitting a credit request on behalf of the employees.
Once the setting is enabled, employees can seamlessly utilize the chosen reference date for their leave.
Example: Employee has a credit request on the 15th Oct and also utilized the credit on the same date.
