Award | Entitlements


 

1) Configure leave types

New leave types can be added to Easy Employer (EE) at any point. It is important to ensure that the steps below are completed.

  1. Manually enter the entitlement type in EE or perform the entitlement type import to import the entitlement type into EE's entitlement list.
  2. Add the entitlement to the award.
  3. Add the payroll category to the award.
  4. Add the leave type to the award and award pay groups.

 


NOTE: The available leave types for a user are based on the leave types in the user's pay group: It does not matter what payroll category is set on the leave type, if the leave type is not in the pay group, then it won't be available as an option in the leave request type drop down menu of the leave form.
