What are Replacement Credits? 

Replacement Credits are NOT a type of leave that employees can apply for. Replacement Credits are a way for employees to receive an extra day of leave entitlement credited into their leave balance, to compensate the employee working on a non-working day.


Admins may award employees Replacement Credits or Employees may apply for Replacement Credits and when this request is approved, they will receive an extra day of leave in their leave balance, and the employee can then apply for leave as usual.


Admins are able to customise which existing Leave Policy Entitlement this replacement credit would be credited to, for example the employees Annual Leave(recommended) or a specifically created Generic Leave named Replacement Leave.
