Compensatory time off
If one of your employee's has worked overtime or logged extra hours, you can easily add the number of days they worked extra to their compensatory time off. This will then be added on to their yearly vacation deductible, and the best part is that it can be done in just a few clicks!
First, go to Settings > Users.
From there, select an employee whom you'd like to edit their comp time by clicking the pencil icon for Edit.
Select Allowance from the left side rail and choose the year for which you'd like to edit (again by clicking the pencil icon).
Change the number of days under the Compensatory time off column and click the checkmark to save your changes.
And that's it! Any compensatory time off the employee has will be added on to their vacation deductible allotted for that year.
Curious about what the difference is between vacation allowance and compensatory time off? Keep reading to find out more!
Your vacation allowance is your yearly vacation contingent. This number depends on how many vacation days your company allows in a year and can be viewed under "My calendar".
If you log any overtime hours, these hours can be counted towards your total compensatory time off. Therefore, any comp time you have will be added on to your total vacation allowance for that year.
For example, Adele would have had a total of 28.5 Vacation days in 2023 but she's already requested a 1/2 vacation day which leaves her with 28 days leftover. However, she has 3 compensatory time off days which means her total leftover vacation contingent for 2023 is brought up to 31 days.
Only an admin can maintain and manage these hours in absentify. Click here to learn more about setting a user's annual vacation contingent or here to learn about editing a user's compensatory time off.
We're currently working on another leave type that will allow users to deduct their absence either specifically from their comp time or their vacation allowance. If you want to let us know you'd like us to implement this idea sooner, then give it an upvote in our Roadmap!
