Leave Groups

A leave group is simply a named set of employees. Groups let you offer a leave type to only some people — for example, maternity leave for one group and paternity leave for another, or an extra leave type for a particular office.

Open Leave > Leave (the Manage section) and choose the Leave Groups tab.

Creating a group and adding people

  1. Click Add New, give the group a name (for example "Female Employees"), and save.
  2. Use the members button on the group's row to add the employees who belong to it.

Using a group on a leave type

When you create or edit a leave type, open its Advanced step and set the Leave group field to your group. From then on, only members of that group can see and request that leave type. Leave the field blank to offer the type to everyone.

Common uses

  • Maternity Leave → a "Female Employees" group
  • Paternity Leave → a "Male Employees" group
  • Office-specific holidays or leave → a per-location group
