Manage Replacement Leaves (Time Off in Lieu) with TimeTec Leave
Introduction
To achieve the best working conditions, companies can now allow staff to apply for replacement leave credits in TimeTec Leave whenever they have to work on public holidays and weekends. This is sometimes known as “Paid Time Off in Lieu” and this means that instead of overtime pay, their staff can be compensated with additional rest days to make up for the busy peaks. This flexible option also helps to balance the budgetary concerns that may arise from an irregular schedule in business operations.
Process
i. Enable this option in System Settings - Replacement Leave allows users to apply for replacement credit whenever they work after standard hours (in accordance with individual employment contract). By default, this option is turned off and can be enabled or disabled at any time.ii. After enabling this option, Replacement Leave Wizard will pop-up and users will need to follow the instructions in the Wizard to configure the required Leave Settings > Assign to the relevant Leave Policy and Users (or you can skip for now and do this at Leave Settings > Leave Policy later).
iii. Replacement Credit module will now be displayed in the Menu (for assigned users who are entitled to this leave and their approvers).
iv. User: To apply for Replacement Credit > Go to Replacement Credit > Application tab > Click ‘Apply’ button > Fill in the form > Submit.
v. Approver: To approve Replacement Credit > Go to Replacement Credit > Approval tab > Edit > Click button to ‘Approve Request’/ ‘Reject Request’.
vi. Once approved, the Replacement Credit will be added to the user’s Replacement Leave balance. Users can then apply for Replacement Leave in the system through the usual leave application procedures.
Please note that Users and Approvers can also perform step (iv) to step (vi) above through the mobile application.
