System Options - Leave Type
This area specifies how the leave items will appear in Employee Self-Service Kiosk.
Initially this displays the company names available to the system, the contact email address for the payroll department for each company (if email to Payroll is selected).
How many months in advance leave can be projected, and whether or not the hint for the leave request should be displayed in the Leave Planner.
When you rest your cursor on an event in the leave planner, the hint will show what type of leave it is, such as Public Holiday or Approved Annual Leave.
To check or amend settings for a company, click the edit icon 
in the Action column.
This will expand the screen by displaying edit options for the company, and additional sections.

Leave Type
Select the types to be selectable in leave requests with the Show checkbox.
One leave pay item may be assigned as the default leave type to display on leave requests, in the example above it is LAN - Annual Leave.
Override Description may be provided to display on the leave request instead of the Description.
For example instead of displaying Flexitime an organisation may refer to it as Flexible Hours, or employees may know it as Time in lieu.

It factors in the current balance, the projection for leave that should accrue (if not turned off) to the leave request’s end date and approved leave before and after that date not yet paid.
It cannot cater for all situations, particularly if leave requests are left as submitted or if an employee doesn’t work normal hours over the projection period.

Leave Requests
Leave requests default to only calculate hours Mon-Fri for non-public holidays, unless employees are set up with work patterns.
Weekends and public holidays may optionally be ticked to be included in leave requests.
