BrightPay allows you to define up to nine additional custom types of employee leave. Six of the custom types are set up with default descriptions, which you can edit, add to, or remove as need be.
.
Custom leave types act like the existing built-in kinds of leave, in that they are mutually exclusive and can only be applied to working days.

They can be set on a per-employee basis, or batch set for multiple employees at once.

To define and set a new leave type of your choosing:
 

• Within Employees, select an employee from the left hand listing and access their Calendar
   
• Select a date on the calendar
   
• Select Custom Leave Types to the right of the calendar
   
• Six default descriptions have already been entered for your use. Should you wish to edit or add to these, click Edit Custom Leave Types... in order to enter your own descriptions
   
• Click Save 

Items that are left blank will not appear in the menu.

Custom leave types also appear on the employer calendar in the Client Portal.

Note: While custom leave types can be added, they will not reduce the employee's annual leave entitlement.

You can only add custom leave types in portions of a day; ie 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full day. There is no option to book custom leave types in hours, even if the employee's annual leave calculation method is set in hours.
