Unpaid leave requests can be submitted by both admins and employees. Upon approval of the leave by all approvers, a deduction is automatically created on the payroll table.

As an Admin (Time Off Manager or Super Admin), you can request unpaid leave for an employee by following the below steps:

Step 1

Under Leave Requests, click on New Leave Request.

Step 2

Fill in the details of this leave request for a specific employee by selecting Unpaid leave as the type of leave to be requested. You will be notified that a deduction will be created for these leave days.

When the unpaid leave is fully approved by all approvers in the hierarchy, a notification will be shown on the payroll table as shown below for employees with automatic pay deductions associated with unpaid leave.

Clicking on Filter Employees on the notification bar will show you the employees with unpaid leave deductions.

Click on the employee row to be directed to their current payroll month with further details on their pay including the deduction details and calculations.

Clicking on View Details will take you to the Adjustment tab in the employee's profile and show individual unpaid leave requests and the calculation for the deduction amount once you expand the request.

You can also view all adjustments for all employees to include unpaid leave deductions under the Payroll > Adjustments tab as shown below.
