Manage time off types
See the standard time off types and add reasons of your own, such as parental leave or a course, to choose when you register time off.
Each time you register time off, you choose a type. That way you can see later why someone was away. You manage the list of types in Time off types.
The standard types
Every workspace starts with four types, shown in Dutch: Vakantiedagen (holiday), Ziekteverlof (sick leave), Training and Overige redenen voor afwezigheid (other reasons for absence). They have a lock in the list: you cannot change or delete them.
Add a type of your own
- In the menu, go to Settings › Team members › Time off types.
- Click Add.
- Fill in a name under Reason, for example Parental leave.
- Click Save. The new type appears straight away in the Type list when you add time off.
Change or delete a type
- Click Actions next to a type of your own.
- Choose Edit to change the name and click Save. Time off already registered with this type shows the new name.
- Or choose Delete and confirm.
Who may do this
You need the permission Has access to business settings, in the Workspace area. You set this under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rename a standard type?
No. The four standard types are fixed. Add a type of your own if you want a different name.
Can I mark a type as paid leave?
No. A time off type is only a name; Saloon does not work with wages or leave hours.
How is this different from blocked time types?
Time off is a team member's absence, such as a holiday, and shows in the roster. Blocked time blocks part of the calendar on a working day, such as lunch or a meeting. You manage those types under Settings › Planning › Blocked time types.
