Base Defination

This section is used to set up and manage different leave types in the system. The admin can view all existing leave rules in the list and edit any rule using the edit icon. In the base definition form, the admin can set important details such as leave code, leave name, leave type, leave color, status, and other options like half-day leave, leave encashment, request pullback, auto approval, salary slip display, notice period use, negative balance, and date validation. These settings define how each leave type works in the system.

Negative Balance Limit Enhancement

The Admin can configure a higher Negative Balance limit while creating or modifying leave types.

Updated Limits

  • Day-Based Leave: Negative balance limit increased from 30 days to 365 days.
  • Hour-Based Leave: Negative balance limit increased from 30 hours to 100 hours.

Validation

  • For Day-Based Leave, values greater than 365 days are not allowed.

This section is used to configure the rules for granting Compensatory Off (Comp-Off) credits to employees.

Administrators can define the eligibility and crediting conditions under which employees receive Comp-Off leave for working on holidays, weekly offs, or other eligible days as per company policy.


Comp-Off Utilization Rules

The Comp-Off Utilization Rules section is available under the General Rules configuration of the Comp-Off leave type. These settings enable administrators to control how employees can utilize earned Comp-Off units and ensure compliance with organizational Comp-Off policies.

The Admin can configure Comp-Off utilization behavior by defining whether half-day Comp-Off credits can be combined into a full-day leave and whether full-day Comp-Off credits can be utilized as multiple half-day leaves.

Note: These rules are applicable only when Allow Half Day is enabled for the Comp-Off leave type. If Allow Half Day is disabled, the Comp-Off utilization rules will not be displayed.

Allow Aggregation of Half-Day Earned Units into Full-Day Application

This setting determines whether multiple half-day Comp-Off earned units can be combined and utilized as a full-day Comp-Off leave.

Options:

  • Yes – Employees can combine two eligible half-day Comp-Off earned units to apply for one full-day Comp-Off leave.
  • No – Employees cannot combine half-day Comp-Off earned units. Each half-day earned unit must be utilized separately.

Example

An employee has earned two half-day Comp-Off credits on different eligible working days.

  • If Yes is selected, the employee can combine both half-day credits and apply for one full-day Comp-Off leave.
  • If No is selected, the employee must utilize each half-day Comp-Off separately and cannot submit a full-day Comp-Off request using the two half-day earned units.

Allow Splitting of Full-Day Earned Units into Half-Day Applications

This setting determines whether a full-day Comp-Off earned unit can be utilized as multiple half-day leave applications.

Options:

  • Yes – Employees can split one full-day Comp-Off credit into two separate half-day leave applications.
  • No – Employees must utilize the full-day Comp-Off credit as a single full-day leave request.

Example

An employee has one full-day Comp-Off credit.

  • If Yes is selected, the employee can take:
    • First Half leave on one day, and
    • Second Half leave on another day.
  • If No is selected, the employee must utilize the entire Comp-Off credit as one full-day leave and cannot split it into multiple half-day requests.

Block Multiple Separate Half-Day Requests for the Same Calendar Date

This option becomes available when Allow Splitting of Full-Day Earned Units into Half-Day Applications is set to No.

This setting prevents employees from bypassing the Comp-Off utilization policy by submitting separate first-half and second-half leave requests for the same calendar date.

Options:

  • Selected – The system blocks multiple half-day Comp-Off requests that together constitute a full-day leave on the same date.
  • Not Selected – The system allows separate half-day leave requests as per configured leave rules.

Purpose

This validation ensures that employees cannot indirectly create a full-day Comp-Off leave by submitting separate first-half and second-half requests when the organization has restricted full-day Comp-Off credits from being split into half-day applications.

Comp-Off Utilization Validation

The system performs validations based on the configured Comp-Off utilization rules.

Validation for Full-Day Credit Split Restriction

When Allow Splitting of Full-Day Earned Units into Half-Day Applications is set to No, employees attempting to utilize a full-day Comp-Off credit as a half-day leave will receive a validation message and the request will not be submitted.

Validation for Half-Day Credit Aggregation Restriction

When Allow Aggregation of Half-Day Earned Units into Full-Day Application is set to No, employees attempting to combine multiple half-day Comp-Off earned units into a full-day leave request will receive a validation message and the request will be blocked.

Business Rule

As per the Comp-Off policy, an employee cannot utilize multiple Comp-Off earned records from different earned dates against a single Comp-Off utilization day when aggregation is restricted. The system validates the leave request based on the configured Comp-Off utilization settings and allows or restricts leave application accordingly.

These rules help organizations maintain accurate Comp-Off tracking and ensure that earned Comp-Off credits are utilized in accordance with company policy.

 

Leave Mapping:

The Leave Mapping section is used to establish relationships between different leave types.

Through leave mapping, administrators can define how leave balances should be considered when an employee exhausts a particular leave type or when leave conversion rules are applicable.

And if the person joins after 25th of the month, then he won’t be eligible to get the full leaves as it will be credited to him next month onwards based on the pro rata calculation, so the option is to go with credit no leaves.

When On Accrual Present Days is selected, leave credits are calculated based on the employee's actual attendance during the accrual period. The system evaluates the number of present days and credits leave proportionately based on pro-rata calculations.
