Customising HR settings

On eymanage, you can keep track of how many holidays and sick days have been used by staff members, and how many remain. You’re able to customise holiday and sickness entitlement settings for all staff members in a nursery branch through HR Settings.

To find your Entitlement settings:

1. In the top right, click on  > System Settings.
2. In the sidebar, click on HR.
   
3. Go to the Entitlement tab.
   
4. Click Save when you've made your changes.

To customise HR settings for all nurseries, go to  > Global Settings, then continue from Step 2.

Entitlement Period

Entitlement year (start - end): Choose which months your entitlement year starts and ends. Holiday and sickness entitlement reset at the start of the entitlement year.

Holiday Entitlement

Holiday Days: The default number of holiday days each staff member receives.

Minimum length of service before increment starts (years): How long a staff member needs to have worked at your company before receiving increases in holiday entitlement.

Apply increase in: If your staff members receive increases in entitlement year-to-year, this menu lets you choose when these increases are applied: at the start of the following year, or the anniversary of the staff member’s start date.

Increase by (days): How many days holiday entitlement increases by, when it increases.

Frequency of increase (years): How often holiday entitlement increases, in years. For example, every 2 years.

Maximum length of service increment is applicable for (years): How long in years a staff member works for the company before they stop receiving increases in holiday entitlement for length of service.

Rounding: Choose how you’d like holiday entitlement to be rounded up.

Other Settings

Break reduction (minutes): The default length of time subtracted for the staff member's break, in minutes.
