Managing employee attendance efficiently is crucial for ensuring a smooth workflow. One way to streamline this process is by automatically raising compensatory off (Comp Off) requests based on approved overtime. This article outlines the steps to configure and approve Comp Off requests seamlessly.

Step 1: Configuring the Comp Off Rules

  1. Go to Control PanelAttendance.
  2. Click on the dropdown beside Import and select Overtime.
  3. Choose the respective employee, set the filters for date, and approve the overtime either individually or in bulk.
  4. Once approved, Comp Off credit requests will be raised automatically based on the overtime records.

Step 3: Approving Comp Off Credit Requests

Once the Comp Off requests are generated, managers or HR personnel need to approve them so employees can use the credited balances.

  1. Go to Control PanelLeavesEmployees.
  2. Click on Credit Requests.
  3. Approve the automatically raised credit requests for employees.
  4. Once approved, employees will receive the Comp Off balance, which they can apply for leave accordingly.

Step 4: Approving Comp Off Leave Applications

Employees can then apply for Comp Off leave using their credited balances. These applications can be reviewed and approved as per the organization's policies.
