• Include monthly leave balance other than annual leave balance

    By Dalia Mansour 2 decades ago

    Hi,

    In our organisation, the leave balance is accumulated monthly not annual. Each month is 2.5 days balance per employee. Can this option be accommodated to the database.

    Thanks alot for your cooperation

      Dalia,



      Thank you for your interest in Vacation Request!



      Sorry to be so long getting back to you.

      I Replied previously but it seems that my reply was not saved :(



      I have heard of companies that accumulate leave time on a monthly or per pay period basis. The current system design does not support this requirement as I am sure you have noticed. I suppose one could write an agent that ran on an appropriate schedule and incremented the Annual Leave Allocation field on each Annual Leave Allocation document. I would also add an additional field to the Annual Leave Allocation document so that each person could accumulate a different amount of leave time per agent execution …



      I will consider this request for a future release of Vacation Request. Also, I am adding a scheduled agent to a forth coming release that reminds Approvers of Leave Requests not processed since last week. So, more scheduled agents might just fit into the design.



      In the mean time please try writing such an agent for your requirements and then let me know of your experience with it.



      HTH,

      Bob
