The Company category in Settings contains several pages for configuring organisational-wide settings:

• Company Details: Update your company name, logo, and other basic information.
• Employing Entities: Manage separate legal entities within your organisation.
• Locations: Configure your work locations and sites.
• Branding: Customise the appearance and branding of your platform.
• Employment Details: Configure employment-related settings like time off approvals and pay run modes.
• Primary Contacts: Nominate company-wide contacts for payroll, HR, and safety communications.

As part of the Settings reorganisation, many employment-related settings have been moved to other categories for better organisation:

• Timesheet settings: Moved to Time & Attendance Timesheets
• Leave settings: Moved to Time & Attendance Time Off Categories and Time Off Allowance Templates
• Public holidays: Moved to Time & Attendance Public Holidays
• Work Sites & Positions: Moved to Time & Attendance Work Sites & Positions
• Calendar year type: Moved to Security & Access Control System Setup

The Two-level time off approval setting in Employment Details is being phased out in favour of the more flexible Workflows system. While the toggle remains available in Employment Details and will continue to function if enabled, all new configurations should use Workflows.

To set up two-level leave approvals using Workflows:

1. Navigate to Workflows in your platform.
2. Create a new workflow for leave approvals.
3. Configure sequential approval steps where the primary manager must approve before the secondary manager.

Workflows provide more control over approval processes and allow you to set up complex approval chains if needed. For more information, refer to your Workflows documentation.

Enabled: Employees can submit time off requests even if their available balance would go negative. This is useful for organisations that:

• Allow employees to borrow leave and repay it in future periods
• Offer unpaid leave as an option
• Want flexibility in managing exceptional circumstances

Disabled: Employees cannot submit time off requests if doing so would result in a negative balance. The system will prevent the request from being submitted, ensuring employees can only take leave they have available.
