Time off

In ProScheduler, "Time off" refers to a feature that allows employees to request and manage absences from work. Setting up Time off ensures your scheduling and resource planning reflect actual team availability. It also helps avoid assigning work to team members during their leave.

Leave types refer to the different categories or classifications of time off that team members can take. The default leave types are: Paid Vacation, Unpaid Vacation, Sick Leave, and Others. However, the admins can customize, edit, or add more types

Accessing time off

1. Click on ⚙️ Settings from the sidebar.

2. Select the Time off in the app settings.

Creating a new leave type

1. On the Time off page, click Add new on the top left.

2. A pop-up form will appear. Fill in the following fields:

• Name: Enter a descriptive title (e.g., Maternity Leave, Study Leave, Compensatory Off).

• Description: Provide more context or purpose for the leave (e.g., “Leave for parental duties,” “Used for exam preparation”).

• Pay Percentage (%): Define how much of the employee's salary is paid during this leave (e.g., 100 for full pay, 0 for unpaid).

• Color: Choose a color to represent the leave type visually in the Schedule Board. This helps with quick identification.

3. Click to add a new leave type.

Editing or deleting a leave type

Each leave type in the list has two icons:

• Edit: Click the icon to modify the name, description, pay percentage, or color.

• Delete: Click the icon to remove a leave type.
