The Employment Settings section allows you to customise your employment settings to suit your business needs. You can, for example, edit settings such as what timesheet type you use in your organisation, whether you have two-level leave approval enabled, or whether to make two-factor authentication mandatory for all your employees.
Important
You will need to have enabled the open beta feature, Negative Leave Balances, before you can use the new features outlined in this article. You can enable this beta feature via the Beta Flask drop-down and selecting Opt-in, though remember this is still an in-development feature and subject to change. To read more on how to enable this in-progress beta feature, refer to the following article.

Warning
Refer to the Employment settings feature availability section for which settings are accessible, as this depends on what Employment Hero plan you are on.
- Setup mode.
Helpful Hint
Setup mode allows you to block all outgoing emails from the platform. However, it only blocks emails at the time they trigger, not at the time they would be sent.
For example, if an action in the HR platform undertaken at 3:00pm triggers an email to go out, the email settings enabled means it will send this message at 7:00pm. If you switch setup mode on at 5:00pm, this email will go into a queue to be sent once you switch setup mode off. However, if you were to turn setup mode on at 2:00pm, then the trigger never happens and no email will go out once you turn setup mode off.
During setup mode, we will only send an email if a user changes their account email, in which case we will send a verification email to the account holder.
Setup mode also blocks access to non-admins/owners from accessing the organisation.
