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

Putting an Employee on Leave for Part of a day

• Open the User module
• Go to the Employee List. (Query or Edit menu, Information About Employees option.)
• Highlight the employee that is going on leave. Click on the Leave button.
• Click the button to Add a leave record. (All pretty normal so far).
   
• Now select the Part Day leave type that you want to use
• Set the three Dates as normal
• Set the Paid Leave Days to be a partial day (for example 0.5 for a half day.)

BEFORE clicking on Ok....

• Click on EITHER Add Daily Hours or Add Payroll Hours.

Aside : You can add either Daily or Payroll Hours, whatever you prefer. Usually you would use Daily Hours

After Clicking on the Daily hours button

• Make sure the date is correct
• Notice that the Leave Hours option is ticked on
• Enter the hours to want to give the employee. (These are just the hours for the Leave part of the day. The working part of the day will be processed and allocated to the employee, by the processor, as normal.)

• Click on Ok
• and On the Add Leave screen Click on Ok.
