Problem:

When an employee takes a partial day for leave, then calculating the hours that should be applied can be very difficult.  For situations like this we have Part Day leave types. When a part day leave type is used the the processing engine does not allocate any hours to the employee, but rather the person capturing the leave is able to enter the hours instead. 

This document discusses creating these leave types, a different document will discuss using them.

Configuration

• Open the Configuration module, Employee Setup menu, Leave sub-menu, Leave Types option.
• Click Add to add a new Leave Type.
• Enter a Description for the new leave type, for example Paid Part Day
• Make sure the Paid box is ticked OFF.
• Tick ON either Deducted from Annual Leave, or Deducted from Sick Leave (depending on which applies)
• Tick ON Operator captures Manual Hours

repeat the above steps for as many Leave Types as you like.
