FAQ
Q
How to compensate an employee with Paid time off in IceHRM?
A
Assume that an employee worked on a holiday due to some urgent issue. You need to compensate him/her with an additional day off. In that case, you can use “Paid Time Off” tab to add an additional leave to the employee. Paid time off also used to add leaves carried forward from previous years where you have not been using IceHRM. If you want to remove some leave from an employee you can add minus PTO also.
Q
How to allocate different amounts of leave to different employees or categories?
A
Let’s say some employees have only 150 hours of paid time off. (For an example all “Marketing Managers”). To implement this you can go to add a leave rule for Marketing Managers for annual leave with leave amount of only 18.75 days (150/8). Leave rules are not bound to any leave period, so the leave rules that you define will be applied to all the leave periods.
Q
How to add edit time sheets of your subordinates (Direct Reports)?
A
A manager can only make modifications to their direct reports. First, you need to log in as the manager and go to Employees -> Employees module.

In that module click “Login as employee” icon of one of your subordinates.

Then go to “Time Management” => “Time Sheets” and one of the timesheets (all the time sheets displayed here belong to your switched subordinate)

Hit edit time sheet and add a time entry
Q

Q
How to allocate 160 hours instead of days in leave management module in IceHRM?
A
When adding leave entitlement you should primarily use leave types. Since you are getting 160 hours a year you can create a leave type called Annual leave and add 20 (160/8) days as leave amount for that leave type. IceHrm assumes an 8 hour work day. So when you do that you can apply for a leave for 1 day or 1 hour. If you apply for a 1 day leave your leave entitlement available leave count will become 19. If you apply for one hour it’ll take away 0.125 from your leave entitlement.
