Define the Excuse Policy

This article will explain how to add and define an excuse policy and assign employees to it.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to the settings page > Excuse & Overtime > Excuse tab 

2. In the Policy configuration section, select whether the policy applies to Location or Departments, then click on the "+ New Excuse Policy" button

3. Enter the following information:

   • Policy name (for example: "Default policy")

   • Allowed Excuse types for this policy

     • Full Day

     • Late In

     • Early Out

     • Middle of Day

   • Covered request reasons by this policy

     • Personal reasons only

     • Business reasons only

     • Both Personal and Business reasons

       

   • Based on the selected request reasons in the previous step, more settings are made available for you to define the following for each selected reason (personal and/or business):

     • Whether a monthly limit of the requests number should be set for this reason, and its value (maximum 100 requests)

     • Whether a monthly limit of the requested hours should be set for this reason, and its value (maximum 250 hours)

• You may also enable calculating the whole delay period in case the employee exceeds the delay policy according to your business policy

Note the following, regarding how Jisr applies the above mentioned limits:

1. Only approved and pending requests are deducted from the employee's allowed monthly balance

2. The system prevents the employee from submitting excuse requests that exceed any of these limits

3. The monthly balance is reset automatically at the beginning of each month

After defining all the settings for the policy, you can assign this policy to the employees by selecting one of the following:

• All Employees

• A specific group of employees

• Specific employees

Then, click on Create to save this policy.
