This guide will assist you in setting up a parent leave for a specific type of leave.


Objective: A parent leave type is essentially linkage of a type of leave with another. So that when an employee applies for a specific leave type, it will deduct the parent leave type as well.


For Example: -  

Leave Type: Emergency Leave (EL)

Parents Leave Type: Annual Leave (AL)


Scenario: If employee applies for 2 days of Emergency Leave and it has been approved, then 2 days of Emergency Leave & Annual Leave will be deducted from their leave balance.


To maintain or to setup a parent leave type, go to Tools > Leave Type under General Maintenance.


Identify the leave that you would like to add a parent leave type and click on the pencil icon on the right side to edit.


Then assign the desired leave type as a parent leave type to the current leave you are editing now and click on Save once done.


To remove a parent leave type, simply click on the 'x’ icon at the Parent Leave Type row to remove the leave type that is associated and click on ‘Save’ at the bottom to save the changes made.
