Company Leave Settings
The leave settings are global settings impacting all employees within the company.
Auto-Pay Accrued Leave for Casual Employees
This will automatically pay any accrued vacation leave to casual part-time employees at the end of the period. This only applies to employees whose timesheets are being processed through Buddy.
Add Bank Holidays to Leave Balance
Enabling this option will calculate leave entitlement based on the 5.6 weeks, including Bank Holidays. When not enabled, the standard entitlement will be 4 weeks.
Auto-Create Bank Holiday Leave Entries
For employees on fixed schedules (e.g. Monday to Friday), the Auto-Create Bank Holiday Leave will add an automatic Bank Holiday Leave application for any holiday that is on one of their working days. Employees on a Variable Hours setting will get a pro-rata amount
This setting will not affect any full-time employee without any working days selected.
Calculate leave balances on a pro-rata basis*
This option is to calculate vacation leave balances (for fixed-hours employees) on a pro-rata basis. Therefore, their leave balance will increase for each day worked, and they will not have all the year's entitlement at the start of the Leave Year.
Exclude Leave Balance from Payslip
This will exclude leave balances from appearing in the payslip.
Do Not Auto Add Bank Holiday Leave for Worked Days
In conjunction with the auto-creation, this option will ensure that if the employee has timesheets or leave entries on the Bank Holiday, no extra Bank Holiday will be created.
