HR settings and half-day leave
On the General tab of the HR settings page, switch on half-day leave with the Allow half-day holiday requests toggle. Once it is on, colleagues who select a single day can request a morning or an afternoon instead of the full day; a half day takes 0.5 days from the entitlement. The same tab also holds the work-time check, notifications and the rounding of prorated leave.
Open the page from Settings → HR settings or with the gear icon on the Holiday manager page; it requires admin rights.
Half-day leave
- On the General tab, switch on Allow half-day holiday requests. The change is saved immediately.
- From then on, the leave request window shows a Day part selector (Full day / Morning / Afternoon), but only when a single day is selected. Half days cannot be requested for several days.
- The same selector appears in the admins' Issue Leave window and in the + Add row of the request list.
- A half-day request is marked Morning or Afternoon on the calendar and in the list, and the notifications mention it too.
How it counts against the entitlement
A half day takes 0.5 days. A morning and an afternoon request can both be submitted for the same day (together 1 day). A full-day request rules out both halves, and vice versa.
What else is on the General tab?
- Mood check on login and At-risk employee alerts.
- Monthly work-time check and Work-time reminders – see the "Work-time check and reminder settings" article.
- Wage and contribution payment days.
- Proration rounding: how prorated leave days are rounded when someone joins or leaves mid-year (Default (by country), Up, Half up, Down).
- Birthday and work anniversary notifications, and the monthly HR summary e-mail.
