Summary

Different companies have different type of leaves, separate from the mandatory leaves specified by local government bodies. Payboy allows you to customize different categories of leaves used by your company - this is known as Leave Types.

Correctly setting up your Leave Types is important as they will affect:

  • Here, you can select the level of the mass assignment. For example, by selecting "Company", everyone in the company will be assigned this leave type.

Once done, click on the "Submit" button.
