Hi there,

In today's update, we've revamped how the time off system works on Hyra and allows your group to further customize based on your current policies.

Customize Time Off Types

In today's update, workspace administrators can now disable time off types that your workspace doesn't use. These disabled types won't appear in the request form.

By default, all time off types are enabled. However, you are able to disable them by simply going to Workspace Settings > Inactivity.

Time Off Policies

This update also introduces Time Off Policies in Hyra where workspace administrators can limit how many days per period their staff members can take a Time Off.

When a policy is enabled to a staff member/s, they will see a list of all of their available days below the request form.

The staff's available days are also shown on their Directory Profile under Time off tab.

To create a policy, simply go to Workspace Settings > Inactivity > Policies. You can select how often time off limits reset. All limits are counted within each period.

Note: If a policy is disabled for a specific time off type, there's no limit on how many days per period a staff member can request.
