Pairing Leave Entitlement

Modified on Wed, 07 Feb 2024 at 01:06 AM

Definition: If two leaves are paired together, this means when an employee applies for either one of the leaves, the other leave type entitlement will also be deducted accordingly.


Step 1

On your dashboard, go to your left menu, click on Settings (a), then choose Leave (b) and scroll down to choose Leave Type (c)



Step 2

Click on the type of leave you want to pair.


Step 3

Click the Edit button on the top right corner of the screen. We are going to use Sick leave and Hospitalisation leave as an example. Your screen will show the option for Leave Entitlement Pairing as shown in the picture below. Click on Leave Entitlement Pairing (d).



Step 4

Choose which type of leave you want to pair. Keep in mind that if you pair 60 days of Hospitalisation leave with 10 days of Sick leave then the Hospitalisation leave will be reduced if Sick leave is used. For example, if you use up your 10 days of Sick leave then the Hospitalisation leave will reduce to 50 days instead of 60 days.

Below are further examples of how the pairing works:-

If Balance Leave A > Balance Leave B
Leave Taken from A, the leave will be deducted only from the balance of Leave A

If Balance Leave A > Balance Leave B OR Balance Leave A = Balance Leave B
Leave Taken from B, the leave will be deducted from the balance of Leave A and Leave B

If Balance Leave A (5)  > Balance Leave B (3)
Leave Taken from A 3 days, the Balance from Leave A will be deducted by 3, and the Balance from Leave B will be deducted 1
Balance Leave A and B become 2 days


Note: Pairing is not a total combination leave entitlement. When paired, the leave type that has greater entitlement will tend to be reduced whenever the leave type that is paired with has lower entitlement is used.
