Overview of New Features
Leave Request Timesheets
To streamline the payroll process, we will support the automatic creation of timesheets for leave requests. When approving or creating a leave request, check the days of the request that should create timesheets (company non-working days are automatically un-checked) and then check the box for "Create Timesheets out of (#) Selected Leave Requests".
This will create a timesheet for each selected day of leave. Leave timesheets are viewable and exportable along with all other timesheets on the Timesheets Daily and Weekly View. You'll see a nice rendering of leave times on the Weekly Timesheets View, especially if you're using Overtime Rules.
In the example below you can see that Benjamin took 8 hours of sick leave on Friday and 8 hours of PTO on Saturday.
Partial Day Leave Requests
When creating a leave request from mobile or the dashboard, you can indicate if the leave is for full or partial day/days. If you indicate partial days, then you provide the start and end time of the leave on each day of the request.
In the time export, the activity of the leave request is the name of the leave type, the pay category is leave and the the leave type code will be in the timesheet code column.
Bulk Creation of Leave Requests from Dashboard
If you create a leave request from the dashboard, you can multi select workers to create leave requests for multiple workers. This is particularly useful if your payroll system requires timesheets on paid holidays.
Leave Visibility on the Calendar
Partial day leave requests (i.e. 8am -11am) will only block off that worker for the specified leave hours. Full day leave will block the worker off for the entire day, but it will be clear this is a leave request vs. a non-working day.
