💁 When a new leave type is created, it is automatically available for selection on all your policies. But you must actively select the leave type on a policy, in order for the employees added to the policy to gain access to the type.
Leave without earning of vacation days
When an employee or admin registers leave with the rule "Vacation is not earned during leave type" enabled, the employee's monthly earnings of vacation days are automatically adjusted in BitaBIZ.
Example:
Employees have 25 vacation days per year. And therefore earns 2.08 days per month.
The employee takes 14 days of leave in February without earning of vacation days during the leave period.
0.07 vacation days per day of leave taken are deducted from the monthly earnings:
14 * 0.07 = 0.98 vacation days
ℹ️ Leave registered during weekends and on public holidays are counted, when the reduction of the monthly vacation earnings are calculated.
Vacation days per year | Vacation days deducted per day of leave taken |
20 | 0.05 |
25 | 0.07 |
30 | 0.08 |
💁 When taking a full month's leave, 0 vacation days are earned that month.
Employee or admin are informed if a leave type is without earnings of vacation days during the registered leave period:
Please note.
Reducing vacation earning is only available if the selected vacation earning plan is monthly earning. Hence, yearly earning plans does not support leave types that reduce earning.
Reducing vacation earning will only apply In the following months from the time the registration was created.
Employee statistics
The statistics count the number of days created under the module.
