How do I manage leave policies?

Managing employee leave can be a real headache, especially when your team’s growing. That’s why we’ve built a solution that makes it a breeze to handle all kinds of leave, no matter how many people you’ve got on board. Casual, part-time, salaried - whatever the mix, we’ve got you.

With Shiftie, you can easily create as many leave policies as you need, so everyone gets the time off they deserve. This cuts out the manual processes, ensures everyone is on the same page, and saves time in the long run.

Leave Policies

Go to Company Settings > Time Off > Leave Policies.

Leave policies are essential to this process, and there is no limit to the number you can create. Each employee is assigned to a specific leave policy, which determines their entitlements moving forward. You can customise each policy by naming it (e.g., Salaried Staff), setting the policy start date for each employee, and adjusting additional settings.

If the setting "Employees are entitled to Bank Holidays" is enabled, then leave taken over a Bank Holiday will not deduct the Bank Holiday from the employee's leave balance.

At the bottom of the leave policy, you can assign as many relevant leave types as needed to the policy.
