Managing Employee Time Off/Leave Allowances

Learn how to manage your employee time off/leave allowances from within OneBoxBM.

Manage your employees holiday, personal day and sick day allowances from within their employment record.

Key Points

When managing employee time off/leave allowances, the main points to be aware of are.

  • Each employee will only ever have a single set of time off/leave allowances active at any point in time.
  • You can maintain multiple revisions of each employees time off/leave allowances, each with their own effective (from/to) dates so you can specify different time off/leave allowances at different points in the year.
  • You can make adjustments to time off/leave allowances to take into account unused allowances from previous periods.
  • In order to view/manage time off/leave allowances, you must be granted access to do so.
  • You can restrict access to time off/leave allowances days by employee group.
