What is a replacement credit policy


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, as a means of replacing a non-working day that they may have worked on. Employees may apply for Replacement Credits, and when this request is approved, they will receive an extra day of leave in their leave balance to be used accordingly. Admins are able to customise which existing Leave Policy Entitlement this replacement credit would be credited to.


To Set Up a Replacement Credit Policy:

  1. On your admin dashboard, head to the left panel.

  2. Click Leaves > Policies.

  3. Click Create Leave Policy.

  7. Confirm by clicking Confirm.
  8. Click Leaves > Policies.
