Leave Types

TeamHub supports a wide range of custom leave types and configurations to suit any business’s leave policy.

Leave type settings are managed by your HR administrator from the company settings page.

Options per Leave Type

Each leave type can be independently configured with the following options:

Days per annum — For example, 15 days per year for staff, 20 days per year for management.
Accrual behaviour — Choose one of:
- Never
- Monthly
- Annually
- Reset every year
- Reset every anniversary
- Reset every 3rd anniversary
- Reset on employee birthday
- Full Time Contractor — accrues based on business days actually worked rather than a calendar schedule. See Full Time Contractor Accrual for how this works.
Mandatory attachment — Require employees to attach a document (e.g. a medical certificate for sick leave).
Mandatory comment — Require a reason or comment when booking.
Custom message — Display a custom message to employees when this leave type is selected.
Maximum / minimum limits — Enforce caps on how much can be booked at once or in a period.
Hourly leave — Allow leave to be booked and tracked in hours rather than days.
Public holiday calendar — Associate a country calendar with the leave type so that public holidays are excluded from the day count. Supported calendars:
- South Africa
- Australia
- Israel
- Malta
- United States
- United Kingdom
Working days — Defaults to Monday to Friday. Can be adjusted if your organisation uses a different work week.

See Business Days for how working days, public holidays, and the company custom calendar combine to determine what counts as a business day.
