Configuring leave policies

Leave policies are the rules that govern how users accrue leave. You determine how many hours of a particular leave type users accrue and when the rule will start. The starting point is based on the users’ hire date. You can configure leave to accrue daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. You can also apply a policy to a single person, multiple people, or all people.

There is also a feature to limit the total amount a user may accrue. And for companies with carry-over limits, you can set the maximum number of hours that a person may carry over into the new year. Annual carryover adjustments are made between midnight and 1:00 am EST on January 3rd to allow time for end of year timesheet approvals. The annual adjustment is based on approved time for the previous year. Negative leave balances are not adjusted. Accruals occur at midnight based on the timezone you set in your company profile.

Important: You must select Track Leave in a users profile to allow them to view their leave balances.

Completing timesheets

You can access your timesheet by clicking Timesheet under your name in the Dashboard.  

Entering Time

You enter time in WeWorked according to task.  Each row on the timesheet represents a task.  Before you can start entering time, you must first add a row to your timesheet.

Time Format

You can enter time in two ways: Time Format (9:45) or Decimal Format (9:75). WeWorked always displays time in decimal format. If you enter time in time format, WeWorked will automatically convert it to decimal format. You can also just enter decimal format. Decimal format is calculated by dividing the minutes by 60. For example, 1 hr and 50 min is 1.83, which is 50/60 = .83 for the minutes.

Example time entries:

Description Time Format Decimal Format
1 hr 15 min 1:15 1.25
2 hr 30 min 2:30 2.50
3 hr 45 min 3:45 3.75
