Managing and Customising Leave Entitlements in ClickTime Australia

Leave management overview

ClickTime Australia comes pre‑configured with 10 standard leave entitlements — including Annual Leave, Sick Leave, and Time Off in Lieu — to help you get started quickly. You can easily add new leave types or edit existing ones to match your business needs, control visibility for team members, and link entitlements to specific employment types. With built‑in payroll export options and flexible tracking in hours or days, ClickTime ensures your leave policies are both compliant and easy to manage.

ClickTime is already set up with 10 leave entitlements by default:
  • Annual Leave
  • Bereavement (Compassionate)
  • Community Service Leave
  • Long Service Leave
  • Other Paid Leave
  • Sick (Personal/Carer's) Leave
  • Time Off In Lieu
  • Unpaid Leave
  • Unpaid Leave - No Show
  • Unpaid Leave – Sick

 

 You may add to or edit these leave entitlements to suit your business.

To do this go to Setting > App Setting > Setup Tables >  and on the left menu options, click on “Leave Policies”

 

 

From here, you will see a list of your current leave types. Click New Leave Policy button to add a new leave policy:

 

From here, you can edit the details of the leave entitlement, including:

  • The name of leave
  • The type of leave
  • Whether the leave entitlement is paid or not
  • Whether the leave entitlement should be visible to team members (i.e. when they apply for leave or see balances on the Deputy smartphone apps)
  • If you choose to export the leave entitlement to Payroll you can switch it on here and enter the export code for your Payroll system.
  • Whether you would like the leave entitlement to track in 'Hours' or 'Days'. Note: You will need to make sure you choose carefully as team members' leave balances will not be automatically converted or carried over if you switch between these options.
  • Whether you want to apply the leave policy to all staff or to specific employment types such as “full time”, “Part time”..etc
  • Lastly, select and tick the days this leave policy will be applied on “Working Days”, “Sat”, “Sun”, “Public Holidays”

 

When you are done, click Save

 

 

How to assign leave entitlements to team members

  1. In ClickTime, all leave policies are linked to one or more employment types. For instance, "Annual Leave" is designated for full-time and part-time employees but not for casual workers. When creating a custom leave type, you’ll be prompted to specify the employment types it should be associated with.
  1. ClickTime streamlines leave policy management by automatically assigning employees the appropriate policies based on their employment type. For example, full-time employees might have access to more generous vacation and sick leave policies compared to part-time or casual workers.
  1. To ensure employees receive the correct leave policies, on employee screen, set their employment type and the system will automatically assign the appropriate policies.
