Managing Leave with the Employee Leave Application Option

Managing Employee Leave is an easy process. Featuring a single interface for Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Maternity/Paternity Leave, LSL and more.

Pre-requisite's

  • Ensure the Global Leave Configuration is setup
  • Create Leave Profiles
  • Ensure a Leave Profile is assigned to the Employee

Global Leave Settings

The Global Leave Settings has to be setup once.

  1. After logging into the Subscribe-HR HCM Platform, select the Settings on the top right of the screen.
  2. Select the Leave Accrual Units.
    If this appears as text and not editable, then the Accrual Units have already been set.
  3. Select the Leave Transaction Profile.
    The options are Auto Calculated, Auto Calculated (No Balances), Manual Entry.

    Auto-Calculated enables the system to calculate the Days Absent and Work Hours Lost via the Working Hours definitions when an Absence is entered. Manual Entry allows the user to specify the Work Hours Lost and the Total Days Absent.
  4. Select the Save button.
  5. Select the Accrual Country Settings. Select the Country the system is used in. It is important that the correct Country is selected as this will impact on how Leave is Accrued.
  6. Select the Leave Period Date Type.
    Company Date causes the system to Accrue Leave based on a defined date and this date becomes the Anniversary Date for Leave Accruals. Anniversary Date causes the system to Accrue Leave based on the Employee start date. The Employee Start date is the Anniversary Date for Leave Accruals for the particular employee.
  7. Set the Company Leave Anniversary Date. This only becomes valid and active if Leave Period Date Type is set to Company Date.
  8. Select the Save button.

Leave Settings / Leave Profiles

Leave Settings is where the Leave Profiles are created. There is no limit on the amount of leave profiles that can be created.
The benefits of Leave Profiles is seen when you have such scenarios as:
Management, or particular employees accruing Annual or Sick Leave Days at a higher rate than other employees.


Creating a Leave Profile

  4. Enter the Leave Profile Name. Ensure the name is descriptive.
  5. Select the Leave Type.
  6. Enter the Total Annual Amount that is accrued.
    The unit amount can be found in the Annual Amount Units field. Example: If the Annual Amount Units is Days and Total Annual Amount is 20 then the Total Annual Amount would be 20 Days per year
  7. Select the Leave Accrual Interval. This is the period between accruals. Example: Monthly would cause the system to calculate new Leave Accrual transactions on the Anniversary day of the Month.
  8. Enter Leave Exclusion Period.in months. The leave exclusion period is the amount of time from the Leave Profile Start Date that the Employee will not accrue leave. Example: If an Employee Starts work on the 01/03/yyyy, the Leave Profile Start Date is 01/03/yyyy, and Leave Exclusion Period is 6 months, the Employee will start accruing Leave from the 01/09/yyyy.
  9. Check the Carry Forward option if this accrual is not reset and the amount accrued the year before is carried over to the following year.
