Intro to Setup BitaBIZ

Setup BitaBIZ is used by the Setup Admin role to create and maintain your company’s setup in BitaBIZ.

The core of the setup is policies.

A policy is typically created for a staff group in a country and brings together the rules, registration types, and balances that apply to that employee group.

Settings are often chosen to support local regulations, company practices, or a collective agreement.

Important to know

Policies define rules and registration types for a staff group in a country and are at the center of your BitaBIZ setup. When a policy is changed, it can affect:

  • vacation and leave

  • time registration

  • balances

  • registration types

  • employees already linked to the policy

Always check the consequences of changes to existing policies.

FAQ

Where should I start in Setup BitaBIZ?

Start by creating or reviewing policies. Policies are the core of the setup and determine the rules for staff groups.

What is a policy in BitaBIZ?

A policy brings together the rules and registration types that apply to a staff group, typically in a specific country.

Through the policy, the employee gets access to the registration types (vacation, leave, time registration method, standard hours, public holidays, breaks) that are linked to the policy when the employee’s profile is connected to the policy.

Why is the country important when I create a policy?

The country is important because vacation, public holidays, leave, work hours, and balances often depend on local regulations.

Where can I find help for Danish vacation rules or rules in other countries?

Use the country articles. They explain which settings are typically chosen to cover the rules in a specific country.

Where can I find help for a specific function, e.g. time registration - without hour bank or supplementary balance?

Use the setup articles for the specific function. They explain how the function works in BitaBIZ.

When should I use user administration?

User administration is typically used as the next step when policies, registration types, and rules are created, and employees need to be linked to the setup.
