Map leave types to a leave group
A leave group offers only the leave types mapped to it. The Leave group mapping list shows each group with its Mapped count.
Before you start
- The leave types exist and are active.
- The leave group exists and is active. An inactive group shows "Please activate this leave group".
Steps
- Go to Leave group mapping and select Edit on the group.
- Select Add mapping and fill in a row for each leave type:
| Field | What it does |
|---|
| Leave type | The leave type to offer. Each type can appear only once per group. |
| Gender applicable | The genders the type applies to, for example only women for maternity leave. Employees of other genders can't apply and aren't credited. |
| Paid leave | Whether approved days are paid. Unpaid days count as loss of pay in payroll. |
| Special keyword rule | Gives the type built-in behaviour. See below. |
| Statutory leave | Marks the type as required by law, for reporting. |
- Save the mapping.
- Select Proceed to parameter to set the Credit, Avail and Year-End rules for each type. See Set up leave.
To remove a type from the group, select Remove on its row and confirm.
