What is Leave Entitle Plan

A Leave entitle Plan is a group of settings about how to entitle Leave days (or hour/minute) to employees automatically. In our system, you may create more than 1 Leave entitle plan depends on your company policy. At least 1 Leave entitle plan should be created for each Leave Type which you want the system to auto calculate and entitle leave days to employees. Sometimes, say Annual Leave, if your company has 2 entitle policy for different group of employees (e.g. General staffs and Manager), you should create 2 Leave entitle plan for them.

 

In each Leave entitle plan, it include 5 main components, and they are:

Calculation

For example, Annual Leave should be calculated on service year, while Pay Sick Leave should be fixed. Compensation Leave should be auto calculate total OT hours.
