If an employee is going to be off work for a long period of time, you can set them to show as on long-term leave.
📌TIP: Even though there is a maternity and paternity leave option for long-term leave, we recommend to create and use a parental leave policy for maternity or paternity leave.
Go to the employee's profile, then click the Time off tab
Under Time off summary, click Set long-term leave.
Select the reason.
Enter a start date and end date for the leave.
Select, if any, which policies you want to stop accruing during this long-term leave.
If required, enter additional comments.
Click Save.
When you view the Time off page in their profile, a banner will show stating they are on long-term leave, and for how long.
