There is often a need to capture details of staff availability which is not related to leave or payroll. Examples might be;
-
Non working days for part time employees
-
Work from home arrangements
-
Employees who are travelling, or working from a different location
To include this type of ‘leave’ in LeaveCal you have the ability to create a ‘Custom Type’
Creating Custom Types is easy
Go to the ‘Settings’ tab then ‘Leave Types’ sub-tab
Scroll down to the ‘Include Custom Leave Types’ section and click ‘+ Add custom type’.
You can now enter any ‘Type’ that may be applicable for your business.
Entered by Admin only, means that only users with the Admin permission role can add this leave type.
Always visible in calendar will show the Leave Type Name in all places where calendar items can be viewed even if the ‘Type of Leave’ calendar event settings is turned off.
Once this ‘Type’ is created you can then create one off of recurring events for this from the calendar tab in the LeaveCal console.
By selecting the ‘+ Add Entry' on the calendar tab, you can then enter the details for the appropriate employee.
You can create custom recurring patterns by using the custom recurring event.
Once a ‘Custom Type’ event has been created they will be included in alerts along with any other leave in the LeaveCal calendar
