Create & manage holidays & time off policies

This guide will walk you through how to create, manage, and configure time off policies and holidays in your workspace. As a Workspace Admin or Owner, you have full control over these settings, ensuring that your team’s time off is accurately tracked and managed.

Enable time off

To start managing holidays and time off policies, you first need to enable the Time Off feature in your workspace.

To enable time off:

1. Cliquez sur le bouton three-dot menu at the top left of your workspace
2. Sélectionner Paramètres de l'espace de travail dans la liste déroulante
3. Scroll down to the Congés .
4. Activez Congés by checking the box
5. Enable the option to let Regular users see Time off outside their teams if needed (optional)

Once enabled, you can create time off policies that fit your workspace’s needs.

Create and manage time off policies

Time off policies determine how your team can request and track different types of leave, such as vacation days, sick leave, or personal time off.

To create or manage time off policies:

1. From the sidebar, click on Congés
2. Cliquez sur Settings icon (gear symbol) on the top-right of the Congés .
3. Sélectionner Gestion des politiques to create or edit your time off policies

Key fields to define:

• Attributaire: Choose the members who are eligible to request time off under this policy
• Unité de temps: Define whether the time off is tracked in days (e.g., vacation) or hours (e.g. banked hours)
• Approbation requise: Choose whether time off requests require managerial approval. If unchecked, requests will be auto-approved
• Accumulation automatique: Enable this option to automatically add days or hours to team members’ balances monthly or yearly
• Autoriser le solde négatif: Allow employees to request time off even if they have a negative balance (e.g. for sick leave). Optionally, limit the amount of negative balance.
• Autoriser une demi-journée: Enable half-day requests if the policy is in days
• Autoriser une demi-journée sur plusieurs jours: Allow employees to request first or second half-days across multiple days
• Autoriser les heures sur plusieurs jours: Allow employees to request hours off across multiple days (if the policy is in hours)
• Créer automatiquement des entrées de temps: Enable this to automatically track time off requests under the chosen project, including billable hours

Gérer les jours chômés

Non-working days (holidays and weekends) can be defined and customized in your workspace settings.

To manage non-working days:

1. Accédez à Time Off .
2. Cliquez sur Settings icon et choisissez Manage Holidays.
3. Par défaut, Saturdays and Sundays are marked as non-working days. You can change this by customizing the working days in the Paramètres de l'espace de travail

Create and manage holidays

You can create multiple holidays, customize them, and assign them to specific users or groups.

To create and manage holidays:

1. Sur la page Congés page, click the Paramètres icon
2. Sélectionner Gestion des jours fériés from the dropdown menu
3. Define your holiday details:
   • Holiday name: Name your holiday (e.g. New Year’s Day)
   • Assigned members: Choose which users or groups are eligible for this holiday
   • Annually occurring: Choose whether this holiday should repeat annually
   • Holiday color: Select a default color or create a custom color for this holiday

Pour modifier ou supprimer des jours fériés :

1. Accédez à la page des Congés .
2. Cliquez sur le bouton trois points next to the holiday you want to edit
3. Sélectionner Modifier ou Supprimer
   • Editing allows you to change holiday details like name, assigned users, and color
   • Deleting will permanently remove the holiday from the system

When an employee requests time off, holidays and weekends are excluded from the total time off. For example:

Par exemple : If someone requests leave from Jan 1 to Jan 7, and Jan 1 is a holiday, Jan 2 is a Saturday, and Jan 3 is a Sunday, their request will be reduced to 4 days of time off.

Archive and delete policies

You can archive or delete outdated policies, such as old vacation policies or specific leave policies no longer in use.

To archive or delete policies:

1. Accédez à Congés .
2. Cliquez sur le bouton trois points next to the policy you want to archive or delete
3. Choisissez Archiver to remove it from the active policy list (it will not affect balances or requests)
4. If you need to permanently remove a policy, you can delete it after archiving

Deleting a policy removes all requests and balances associated with that policy.

Edit or delete policies

If you need to make changes to an existing policy, you can edit its details.

How to edit a policy:

1. Sur la page Time Off page, click the trois points next to the policy
2. Choisissez Modifier to update the policy name, members, accrual rules, or other details

How to delete a policy:

1. Follow the same steps as for editing a policy
2. After archiving, select Supprimer to permanently remove the policy from the system

View and track time off

Once you have set up your time off policies and holidays, you can track your team’s time off requests on the Feuille de temps, Calendrier, Congés, et Planification pages.

Policy and holiday colors: The colors you’ve defined for policies and holidays will appear throughout these pages, making it easy to identify types of leave.

FAQ
