Control whether employees can see balances for UK occupational time off types (e.g. Occupational Sick time off or Occupational Maternity time off). This setting prevents confusion between pay entitlements and time off entitlements—employees can still request these time off types, but will not see balances unless they have the right permission.
Important
This setting will be turned off by default.
Even when the setting is on, admins, owners, and any employees with the Time Off Management custom permission will be able to see occupational balances.
Getting started
When the toggle is on - Only admins, owners, and users in the Time Off Requests (Time off management) group can see balances for occupational time off types.
Standard employees (and managers without the Time Off Management permission) will not see any mention of occupational time off types in balance tables across the product.
This includes:
- The My Time Off page
- The Time Off Management page
- While submitting or editing a request
- Under Time Off Details in employee profiles
- Employees can still request occupational time off; they simply will not see a balance.
When the toggle is Off:
- Everyone sees occupational balances as normal (subject to their usual access on each page).
Important
This setting affects visibility only. It does not change accrual rules, entitlements, approvals, or reporting.
- Log in to Employment Hero.
- Click on Time on the left-hand side menu.
- Click on Time Off.
- Click on Settings.
- Click on the Advanced Settings tab.
- Find Hide Occupational Balances and toggle On or Off (the switch to the right is toggled on. If toggled on, the switch will appear purple).
Helpful Hint
Communicate to employees that they can still request time off; they simply will not see a balance figure.
Helpful Hint
Review membership of the Time Off Management security group before enabling the toggle to ensure the right people retain visibility.
