Comp-off: earn and use compensatory leave

A comp-off (compensatory off) is a day of leave earned by working on a weekly off or a holiday. Employees claim it, HR approves it, and it is then used like any other leave.

Before you start

• A leave type must be marked Comp-off type on Leave → Leave Types. The standard Compensatory Off template does this for you.
• Comp-off valid for (days) on that type sets how long each credit can be used.

Claim a comp-off (employees)

1. Go to Me → Leave ( open Leave).
2. Under Take action, click Request comp-off credit.
3. Enter the Dates worked — weekly offs or holidays only. Click Add another date for more (up to 10 at a time).
4. Write a Note saying what you worked on.
5. Optionally Upload file (PDF or image).
6. Click Request.

Rules:

• The date must be in the past, within the last 60 days.
• You need a punch on that date. If you forgot to punch, send a regularization request first.
• Each approved date adds one day of comp-off.

Your claims and their status appear under Comp-off claims on the Leave page, with a Use by date.

Approve or grant comp-offs (HR)

1. Go to Leave → Leave Balances and open the Comp-off tab ( open Comp-off).
2. Pending claims are listed with the employee, the day Worked, Days, Valid until and Reason.
3. Click Approve on a claim, or type a Reason and click the reject (×) button.

To credit a comp-off directly:

1. In Grant a comp-off, choose the Employee.
2. Pick the Week-off / holiday worked.
3. Choose Credit: Full day or Half day.
4. Enter a Reason (for example Stock audit on Sunday).
5. Click Credit comp-off.

Using and expiry

• Approved comp-offs add to the comp-off balance. Employees apply for it like any leave; the oldest credit is used first.
• Unused credit lapses after its validity, in the next accrual run.
