Add or Delete Leave Types
In Hectre you can keep track of jobs completed by employees, but also track days that your staff don't come to work. Hectre has three different categories of absent days.
Categories of Leave
🏝️ Paid Leave
Time recorded under this leave type will calculate wages based on the employees wage rate in Hectre. For example, if a full time employee should be paid for public holidays such as Christmas, they would have a paid leave day for the public holiday. This will effect your labor cost totals.
👤 Unpaid Leave
Time recorded under this leave type will not effect your labor costs. This category is great to track what's happening with your work force. It's also useful when looking back at your harvest and understanding why no one picked on certain days (e.g. rain day).
😷 Sick Leave
Sick Leave has it's own category because sick pay usually has it's own regulations based on the laws in your country / region. By having it's own category an employer can easily keep track of how many sick days staff are taking off through Payroll. This leave type uses employee wage rates and time recorded and will effect your labor costs.
