• enhancement to specify variuos annual leave periods

    By Robert A Westwood 2 decades ago

    Hi

    I note that you already have this down as an enhancement:

    Annual Leave Allowances not running 01JAN-31DEC – specify Start Date/End Date for allocation

    In the company I work work for leave is booked on a 12 month rolling period from the start date of employment, e.g. som have leave December to November, others, April - March, etc. Will this be catered for in this enhanvement, and any idea when this will be added. Thanks though for a great application!

      Hi Robert,



      Thank you for your interest in Vacation Request!



      Sorry to be so long responding to your request. I had to think about this one for a bit.



      I have not previously considered having annual leave allowance years restart for each individual in the system. I have thought about having each system instance have an annual leave year that does not start on January 1. Still no firm answer for either case.



      I am working on a new version (2.2.7) that will allow for "special" leave types (like Personal) and that will have provisions in the Annual Leave Allowance doc for fields that can be used by agents to update allowances periodically. I'll add a Employment/Service start date as well so that we will have something to work with. Perhaps agents can be written that select based on service start date and then update allowances.



      Any volunteers as beta testers for 2.2.7? eMail me



      I also have a 2.2.6d version coming out soon with a few refinements. It has a new button on approved leave requests so that the requester can request revocation of the approved leave. Never thought that there would be a need for this new button but there appears to be.



      HTH,

      Bob

    • Its on the way!

      Hi Robert,



      Thanks again for your interest in Vacation Request!



      Hope is one the way. I am working on a version 2.2.7 which will directly address your request:

      Each person will have their own 1 year Leave Allowance starting on what ever date that you like.



      This new version will have lots of other wonderful featurews as well like special leave categories for other than the general leave allocation ( eg SICK, PERSONAL, etc) and system-wide defaults in a number of areas.



      HTH,

      Bob
