Employees may be unable to work for a variety of reasons. In some cases, this time off will need to be recorded on their timesheet and deducted from their entitlements (leave). In other cases, you will just want to keep a note of this time off so you do not accidentally schedule them to work (unavailability).
Before managers/employees can apply for time off, Admins and Payroll officers can configure what time off can be applied for, by whom, and how these requests should be handled in terms of approval and transferring to payroll.

Why is my cost of leave different between Tanda and payroll?
The multiplier on a leave type is to match what you have setup in payroll, but does not control what is setup in payroll. If the cost of leave differs between Tanda and your payroll, please check you have entered the correct multiplier in both systems.
