Payroll platform: Managing leave allowance templates

Jimmy
Updated

Overview

Leave allowance templates enable you to create a pre-defined set of leave categories that have their own accrual rates, which you can then apply to new and existing employees. This reduces your administrative time spent managing leave categories and accrual rates, as you can change the template and then update all employee records in bulk as opposed to updating each employee record individually. 

This feature allows you to create a new leave allowance template, specify what leave categories to enable, and override the default leave accrual setup if it needs changing. You can also use this feature to edit any information if it changes, view the employees assigned to each template, and delete a record if it is no longer required.

Important

Any changes made to your leave allowance templates will need syncing over to your HR platform. To read further details on how to undertake this, refer to the following article.
