Feature Request: Leave Entitlement and Earning Policy

[wwwardany]

Description
Currently, Horilla lacks a Leave Entitlement and Earning Policy feature, which is crucial for proper leave accrual management. This feature was previously set up with HR.my, and we require similar functionality within Horilla.

Use Case

• The ability to prorate leave entitlement over a year and earn it on a monthly basis.
• Employees should accrue 1.25 annual leave days per month from their hiring date.
• The accrual period should be monthly.
• Employees should earn leave at the end of the accrual period.
• Each month's allocation should be predefined (e.g., 1.25 days per month, totaling 15 days annually).
• This feature ensures compliance with various HR policies and provides automated, structured leave management.

Proposed Solution

• Introduce a Leave Entitlement Policy where admins can define:
• Accrual method (e.g., Monthly, Yearly)
• Prorated earning method (e.g., Start of Month, End of Month, Anniversary-based)
• Custom monthly allocation (e.g., 1.25 days/month)
• Allow employees to automatically accrue their entitled leave based on their hiring date.
• Implement an admin-controlled configuration for setting the accrual period and earning policy.

Benefits

• Automated leave tracking, reducing manual calculations.
• Improved accuracy and compliance with labor regulations.
• Flexibility to adjust leave accrual based on company policies.
• Better employee leave transparency, allowing staff to view their balance in real-time.

Additional Information

• For reference, HR.my has implemented a similar feature: HR.my Leave Management.
