Setting up a company on Leave Dates

To set up your company, go to the Settings > Company page. You can enter various information to tailor Leave Dates to your needs.

Company Name — For you to provide your company or team name.
Allowance Unit — Specify whether your employee's allowance is usually defined in hours or days. You can modify this for individual employees later in the employee settings menu.
First Day of Week — The "Wall Chart" and "My Year" pages will show this day as the first day of the week.
Hours Per Working Day — Specify the standard contracted hours of your employees. This can also be modified for individual employees later in the employee settings menu.
Working Week — Specify the standard working schedule of the company. This can also be modified for individual employees later in the employee settings menu.

Once you have finished making changes, click the 'Save' button.

Tips

The 'hours per working day' is used by the system to convert between hours and days when calculating how much to deduct from their allowance.
Try to split your morning and afternoon sessions equally. These times are used when an employee requests a half day of leave.
To save you time entering schedule information, we have provided a handy 'copy' button. If you click this icon (shown below) it will apply the same times to the other days.

Now you have configured your company, the next step is to set up Departments.
