You can create as many time off policies as you need for your company. For example, we have a policy for vacation, for conference visits, and for sick time.
Time off can either accrue over time, or you can give all that time in one lump sum. Kin will automatically prorate time for you, too. For example, if you create a policy with 15 days of time off which refreshes at the start of each year, then deploy it in Kin on June 31st, Kin will give everyone 7.5 days of time off because it’s half way through the term already.
Create as many time-off policies as you need.
If you give more time off to employees, say, at the 1, 2, 3 year marks, create a policy for each year. You can move employees and their balances easily between those policies on their anniversaries, and Kin will automatically prorate and carry over their time off.
When an employee requests time off, their HR Manager will be notified to either approve or decline the request. When an employee edits a request which has already been approved (such as a date change), the request goes back through the approval process. HR Managers can also create time-off requests on behalf of employees, which comes in handy for sick time or emergency leave.
Employees request time off from their own, personal time-off balance page.
A tip from the Kin team
Some states, such as California, require you to roll unused time-off over to the next year or pay employees for that unused time at the end of the year. Check up on your particular state’s employment laws to make sure you’re doing things the right way!
