Note: Only Admins and Super Admins can create or edit allowance limits for time off types
Charlie allows for time off types to have an associated allowance separate to the main time off allowance given to employees through your company holiday policy. Custom time off types and allowance work in the same way as regular annual leave, they will be prorated depending on employee start dates, and time booked using those leave types will deduct from the associated allowance.
Setting up an allowance for a leave type on Charlie
Head to "Time" and "Settings"
Scroll until you see the "Time Off Types" section
Here you can either create a new time off type, or edit any existing ones to add an allowance limit if you already have the appropriate time off type created for your business.
Click on the pencil icon to open the time off type settings
Click "Custom limit" to get the option to add an allowance
Type the total yearly allowance you want employees to have for this leave type
Click "Update" to save your changes
The same directions apply if you wish to edit the existing allowance of a leave type.
And just like that, your team now has an associated limit for their additional leave types.
These time off types are booked and approved in exactly the same way as holiday, with the allowance limit being shown to team members and any time off approvers during the booking and approval flows.
