Creating a leave policy

Companies may configure leave policies that define how employees earn paid time off.

Updated today

Within Salaris, companies can create and manage leave policies that align with their unique business and compliance needs. Whether you offer a fixed annual allowance or accrue leave based on hours worked, Salaris provides flexible configuration options to ensure policies are accurate, automated, and easy to administer.

Salaris supports two primary accrual types:

  • Fixed Leave

    • Employees receive a set amount of leave each year

  • Hourly Leave

    • Employees accrue leave based on the hours they work.

Leave policies configured in Salaris seamlessly integrate with time off requests in SocialSchedules. Employees can submit time off requests directly within SocialSchedules, and once approved and taken:

  • Leave balances are automatically updated

  • Paid leave is included in payroll processing

  • Updated balances are reflected on employee paystubs

This end-to-end integration ensures accurate tracking, payroll alignment, and clear visibility for both administrators and employees.

This guide will walk you through how to create a leave policy, configure accrual settings (including waiting periods and proration rules), and assign employees to the appropriate policy.
