Specify Leave Dates on Timesheets

For the purposes of more accurate reporting you may wish to specify the actual date employees have taken leave.

This can be done on your timesheet (Excel, manual or ESS) and means a 'Leave Requested For' date is recorded, similar to using a Leave Request. The leave component is assigned to the first working day available in the employee's pay packet, but the 'Leave Requested For' dates are what show in reports.

To specify leave dates on timesheet, select the Pay Group from the drop down box in the ribbon in the 'Pay Groups' tab. Click on 'Timesheet' in the ribbon and tick the 'Specify Leave Dates on Timesheet' box.

When you generate a new Excel timesheet, create a manual timesheet, or view your timesheet in ESS, there will be new 'Start Date' and 'End Date' columns. Each component which requires specified dates will now need its own row in the timesheet.
