You can set up your own special Leave to supplement the many standard leave types that are set and and maintained for you by iPayroll^®. Your own special leave allows you to easily calculate and pay any unique leave types that exist in your organisation's employment contracts.

Tip: Before setting up your own leave, please check that no standard leave already does what you need.

Adding Leave

To set up special Leave follow these steps:-

1. Go to your Leave.
2. Press the Add Leave button.
3. Enter a Leave Code, Description and Type (Entitlement or Taken).

   The Leave Code appears in the drop-down list when you add transactions to timesheets. You should use a short, easy to type, code that you can remember easily. (If you are used to another payroll system that has Leave codes or numbers, you may like to use those for your leave code).

4. Press the Add Leave button.
5. Complete the information on either the Leave Entitlement or Leave Taken and press the Save this Leave button.
