General settings

The General Settings section is divided into key areas for easy navigation.

1. General company details

Add company name, country, and time zone. Choose a date format that suits your company; all leave data will use this format.

2. Minimal leave increments allowed to be request can be set up in Policies - Leave increments.

How General Settings affect allowance and PTO

Some General Settings can affect how leave allowance and PTO are shown or calculated.

The most important settings to check are:

• Company year This controls when annual allowance starts and resets.

• Date format and time zone These help keep leave dates clear and consistent for your team.

• Partial leave settings These control whether employees can book half days, part days, or leave shown in days and hours.

• Nominal day length This helps calculate leave when your company shows absence in days and hours.

These settings should be checked before you set up department allowance, individual allowance, accrual schedules, or leave type limits.

3. Leave Data Privacy settings

Customize Team View visibility:

• Default (no toggles): Employees see leave data for their department and the reason (e.g., sick, WFH)
• Share with all: Leave data is visible to everyone
• Admins and Supervisors only: Only admins and supervisors see Team View
• Admin only: Only admins see Team View

4. Company Backup Data

Periodically back up employee data, especially before deactivating or removing employees. The backup generates a CSV with all relevant information.

5. Delete Company Account

Deleting the company account is irreversible. Back up employee data first; all data will be permanently removed to comply with GDPR. Deleted accounts cannot be reinstated.
