Adding a time off group

As an administrator, you can create a time off group.
Note: Fields with the asterisk symbol (*) are required.
  1. From the menu, select Maintenance > Employees > Time Off Group.
  2. Click Create New Entry. Specify these fields:
    Group Name*
    Specify a unique time off group name to avoid duplicate entries. The Time Off manager shows the name and multiple time off groups when viewing quotas.
    Group Description
    Specify the information about the time off group.
    Team*
    Specify the employee's home team. When dual team hierarchy is in use, this becomes the employer's home team based on the HOME_TEAM_TYPE registry parameter.
    If the parameter is set to Supervisor, the employee’s supervisor team becomes the home team. Otherwise, the HR Org Unit team is the employee’s home team.
    Include Sub-Teams
    Select this check box to enable all sub-teams to inherit the time off group, unless a sub-team has its own group. This avoids having to define quotas for each sub-team when their quota is the same.

    Sub-teams do not share the parent team’s total quota. Each sub-team receives its own quota amount, inherited from the parent team’s time off group when this is selected.

    Start Date*
    Specify the effective start date of time off group
    End Date*
    Specify the effective end date of time off group.
    Is Enabled
    This check box must be cleared when saving the time off group. After saving, complete the additional criteria, such as Time Off Type and Time Off Group Job, as shown. After you have filled out all required fields, select this check box and click Save.
    If this check box is cleared, quotas do not apply, and duplicate quota validation is skipped. Disabled time off groups do not show in Time Off manager or vacation planning pages.
    Note: During saving, this action checks duplicate time off groups, which occur when two enabled groups overlap in team, dates, Time Off Type, or Time Off Group Job.

    After you enable it, you cannot edit the time off group unless you disable it again. This prevents editing that could result in a duplicate time off group.

  3. Click Save to add the new time off group or Return to form listing to close the form.
