Leave Types
A selection of preconfigured leave types is available for ease of setup.
What a new organization starts with
Completing setup creates ten leave types, so you can start booking time off without configuring anything first. Each one requires manager approval and can be renamed, recoloured or deactivated.
| Leave type | Paid | Deducts from | Visible to colleagues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Leave - Vacation Time | Paid | Annual balance | Private |
| Sick Leave - Paid | Paid | Sick balance | Private |
| Sick Leave - Unpaid | Unpaid | — | Private |
| Working from home | Paid | — | Visible |
| Special Event Leave | Paid | — | Visible |
| Maternity | Paid | — | Private |
| Paternity | Paid | — | Private |
| Meeting | Paid | — | Visible |
| Compassionate | Paid | — | Private |
| Unpaid Leave | Unpaid | — | Private |
"Private" means colleagues see that the person is away without seeing why. The annual allowance you choose during setup fills the Annual Leave balance; the rest carry sensible defaults you can change.
