Leave autofill ensures the correct number of leave hours are entered for each day when an employee applies for leave. Employees only need to enter a start and end date for their leave request and the correct number of hours per day will automatically populate for each day.
Leave can be configured to autofill from any combination of the below sources:
The employee's regular hours of work (often called 'contract hours')
The employee's published rostered shifts
The employee's unpublished rostered shifts
The default leave length contained in your account settings
How it works:
You can create a single autofill rule, or create multiple rules. When using multiple rules, Tanda will skip to your next preference if your preferred option isn't available, e.g. if you want leave to autofill based on regular hours of work and none were entered.
Using leave autofill is optional. If you don't configure leave autofill, Tanda will apply the default leave length in your account settings to all leave applications.
The following shows an example of how a leave request is auto-filled using the 'Regular Hours' step.
How to configure leave autofill:
To configure leave autofill:
Navigate to Settings > All Settings > Leave Autofill
Scroll down to "Autofill leave requests", and select applicable staff and autofill preferences. Then click "create autofill configuration" to save the changes
If applicable, you can create additional leave autofill rules for other employees by clicking the "+ New" button
Organizational default:
If an employee has no regular hours and rostered shifts or is not covered by one of the auto-filled rules set above, their leave requests will be filled from the values set in "Default leave hours per full day of leave", unless the "No default leave hours" option is selected.
