Manage Replacement Leaves (Time Off in Lieu) with TimeTec Leave
This post was originally published in August 2018 and was updated in October 2018.
Introduction
We’re excited to share with you about the brand new Replacement Leave feature that just went live in July. To achieve the best working conditions, companies can now allow staff to apply for replacement leave credits in TimeTec Leave whenever they have to work on public holidays and weekends. This is sometimes known as “Paid Time Off in Lieu” and this means that instead of overtime pay, their staff can be compensated with additional rest days to make up for the busy peaks. This flexible option also helps to balance the budgetary concerns that may arise from an irregular schedule in business operations.
Process
i. Enable this option in System Settings - Replacement Leave allows users to apply for replacement credit whenever they work after standard hours (in accordance with individual employment contract). By default, this option is turned off and can be enabled or disabled at any time.ii. After enabling this option, Replacement Leave Wizard will pop-up and users will need to follow the instructions in the Wizard to configure the required Leave Settings > Assign to the relevant Leave Policy and Users (or you can skip for now and do this at Leave Settings > Leave Policy later).
iii. Replacement Credit module will now be displayed in the Menu (for assigned users who are entitled to this leave and their approvers).
iv. User: To apply for Replacement Credit > Go to Replacement Credit > Application tab > Click ‘Apply’ button > Fill in the form > Submit.
v. Approver: To approve Replacement Credit > Go to Replacement Credit > Approval tab > Edit > Click button to ‘Approve Request’/ ‘Reject Request’.
vi. Once approved, the Replacement Credit will be added to the user’s Replacement Leave balance. Users can then apply for Replacement Leave in the system through the usual leave application procedures.
Please note that Users and Approvers can also perform step (iv) to step (vi) above through the mobile application.

How to Apply & Approve Replacement Credit (Web)
1. Once the Admin enables this feature, relevant users will be able to view a Replacement Credit Module in the Menu.
Note: It will only be displayed for assigned users who are entitled to this leave and their approvers. Therefore, Admin will only be able to view this if they have also been assigned as an Approver for a user entitled to Replacement Leave. Likewise, non-Admin can see this if they are Approver for relevant users.

How to use the Attachment feature (NEW - Updated in Oct '18)
In September, we added a new feature called the Leave Attachment. This feature, which is available in both the Web and Mobile App, will enable users to upload supporting documentation (in pdf or images) when making their applications.
To use this, Admin should first enable this option (Optional/Mandatory) when configuring Replacement Leave settings. However, do take note that this setting affects both stages of the Replacement Leave feature: first, the Replacement Credit application and then the actual leave request itself. This means the same condition will be applied, staff will either be allowed or be mandated to attach a file in both types of application. Thus, it is recommended to pick Optional in the setting.
1. At Leave Settings, for Leave Attachment option, pick either 'Yes - Optional' or 'Yes - Mandatory'.
2. When a user applies for Replacement Credit (and Replacement Leave), they will either be allowed or required to attach a file.
3. During approval, the Approver will be allowed to download the attachment.
4. Mobile App

I have a mix of Slave Readers R2-C and R2-I. R2-I uses Algorithm VX 9.0, Does Ingress support both this R2-I / Algorithm VX 9.0.
ReplyDeleteHello Sir,
DeleteReferring to your query and as you know, the R2i reader is a slave reader that work with master reader like R2. As long as it can work with R2 reader, there is no problem for Ingress software to support the device because in Ingress software it can also support algorithm vx9 and vx10. Regards.

ReplyDeleteEven if you are armed with an abundance of knowledge in SEO, you may still need the services of a professional SEO company. Having strong knowledge of SEO is hardly sufficient in some cases. website hosting
ReplyDeleteGetting high ranking in SERP is something every business dreams of when it hears about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). However, this dream, although realized sometimes, is shattered when search engines update their algorithmic procedures. https://hostinglelo.in/
