What

We have built a new option in the leave policy builder that allows businesses to set policies that don’t accrue leave to also not deduct.

Why

Today, when team members make requests against a leave policy today there is always a deduction from the leave balance. This means that many balances go into negative values and are displayed more prominently to team members and managers. For many businesses they want to use certain leave policies to track requests but not necessarily deduct from a balance. This is common for sickness and other personal leave policies.

How

This option is now available to all accounts which have the new leave management engine enabled on their accounts and can be configured to be ON by any System Admins. It can be found in a new policy or an existing policy by navigating to the Does Not Accrue option within a leave policy. Please note that this change does not stop businesses from editing employee balances manually; balances can still be edited manually from the team members profile.

• Now available to every business using the new leave engine experience on Deputy!
