Negative leave balance allowed option
The Isah Configuration Tool now has a Negative leave balance allowed option. If selected, this option allows your employees to request leave hours even if their leave balance is insufficient. Select the check box, for example, if your company allows employees to request unpaid leave. Leave the check box empty if employees may request leave hours only if their leave balance is sufficient.
Monitoring the leave balance
Even if you allow leave balances to become negative, you will want to retain full control. If an employee requests leave hours that will cause his leave balance to become negative, his or her supervisor will be alerted to this on the form used to approve leave requests.
New location of 'Leave request unit' option
The Leave request unit option, which used to be located in the TR application, has been moved to the Isah Configuration Tool, because settings like these are usually defined on an organization-wide basis. The option is used to define the unit for leave requests. If, for example, leave can be requested only in 30-minute blocks, set the value to '0.50'. Employees will then be able to take leave only in multiples of half an hour.
