Salary Paid Staff and Standard Allowance Settings

These are the settings for your employees whose time off is tracked in Standard Allowance of Annual Days. Here, you can set the standard company allowance in days. This can be overwritten in each employee's profile if there are any deviations to the standard within their individual time off settings.

Holiday Requests and Employee Portal Settings

  2. Allow employees to view their time off balance when they sign into their Employee Portal and MyZimply Employee mobile app. To do so, select 'Yes'. If 'No' is selected, employees will still be able to request time off but without the ability to view what their holiday balances are.

  3. Click save at the bottom of the screen.
