If you want to make time off be based on labour, and have employees accrue time off based on hours in their working pattern, this can be set up in the settings of a time off policy.

⚠️CAUTION: These steps create a labour-based policy. After you create it, some settings in this policy are unable to be edited. Make sure you have everything how you want for this policy before you click Create or Save.

  1. Click your name on the top right, then click Settings.

  2. On the settings menu click Time off, then click Policies.

  3. When you add a new policy, or click Settings on an existing policy, select to allocate based on time worked or accrue, then how often e.g. monthly.


  4. Enter the amount employees will accrue based on the time they've worked.

    📌TIP: Use decimals for higher precision.


  5. Select to determine working days and working hours on a working pattern.

  6. Apply all your other time off policy settings, then scroll to the bottom and click Create or Save.

You now have a time off policy that will accrue time off based on a working pattern.
