Managing compensatory time off effectively is essential for maintaining accurate leave balances and fair HR practices. HRStop allows admins to customize how comp-offs are managed—particularly, whether expired comp-offs should be based on the approval date rather than the application date. Here's how to configure it:
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Access the Control Panel
Start by logging into your admin account and navigating to the Control Panel. This can typically be found through the Settings menu in your dashboard.
2. Go to the 'Leaves' Section
Within the Control Panel, click on Settings, then select Leaves from the dropdown list.
3. Open 'Leave Credit Requests / Comp Offs' Subsection
Scroll down or navigate through the options until you locate the Leave Credit Requests / Comp Offs subsection. This is where you control how compensatory time off is credited, approved, and expired.
4. Enable Comp-Off Expiry Based on Approval Date
Look for the setting titled:
“Make expired comp-off based on approval date”
Enable this option to ensure that expired comp-offs are calculated using the date they were approved, rather than when they were originally applied.
5. Save Your Changes
Don’t forget to click Update or Save to ensure your changes are applied. This action updates the leave policy configuration system-wide.
=> Why This Matters
Enabling this setting helps organizations:\n
- Ensure fair expiration timelines for comp-offs\n
- Prevent confusion around when leave becomes invalid\n
- Stay consistent with approval-driven workflows
By aligning your system with your organization's policies, you create a more transparent and efficient leave management experience for both HR and employees.
