Entitlement Policy
Set how many days each level/tenure gets, then apply to everyone.
Entitlement policyBy level & tenure
Leave a cell blank for a leave type that isn't level/tenure-banded — e.g. Hospitalisation and Maternity are usually flat instead (see "Leave types" below). Editing these numbers alone changes nothing — click "Apply policy" to write them into everyone's entitlements for a year.
Annual carryoverCarry unused leave into next year
Set how many unused Annual days may carry into a year and the date they must be used by (unused carryover is removed after that date, and logged in the audit trail). Carried-over days are available in full from 1 January — handy for early Chinese New Year breaks. Then roll last year's leftover over in one click.
Roll over unused Annual
Year-endNew year setup (one click)
Runs your whole December setup in order: apply the policy grid, give flat entitlements for the non-banded types (Hospitalisation, Maternity, Paternity), then roll over unused Annual from the previous year. Set the carryover rule above first. You'll see exactly what will happen before it runs.
Leave Types
Define the kinds of leave and their rules.
Leave typesAdd / edit
"Apply flat" gives every active employee the "Default days" amount for that type — for leave that isn't tenure-banded (e.g. Hospitalisation, Maternity), unlike the policy grid above.
| Name | Default days | Accrual | Requires doc | Allows doc | Eligibility | During probation | Status |

Public Holidays
Choose which public holidays the company recognizes. Recognized holidays are skipped from leave day-counts, just like weekends.
HolidaysRecognized holiday list
Untick "Recognized" to keep a date in the list but stop skipping it from leave. Dates marked "(confirm)" are Islamic/lunar estimates — verify against the official gazette and edit the date if needed. Only affects leave submitted from now on.
| Date | Holiday | Recognized |
|---|
Add one holiday
Add a whole year of Malaysian holidays
Fills in that year's Malaysian federal holidays (skipping any date already listed). Fixed dates are exact; the moveable Islamic/lunar dates come in marked "(confirm)" — verify each against the official gazette and correct if needed.

CapsMonthly spending limits
Each cap applies to the combined monthly total of its categories, per employee. Set a department to make a cap apply only to that department (e.g. petrol → Sales). Going over is flagged to the approver, not blocked.
Claim Limits
The approval limit is the Ringgit amount above which a claim needs a second approver. It's measured on discretionary spend only — allowance categories (petrol/toll/parking/phone/mileage) don't count.
Defaults & ratesCompany settings

Leave blank to use the company default. Set a higher figure for managers, etc.
