Leave can be enabled for an organisation through JAS. The following configuration options are available:
Image 20260211 015510
1

All Organisations Use the Same Leave Request Settings

When configuring leave at Head Office level, this option forces all local organisations to use the same leave settings.
Recommended: Enable this to ensure consistency across the group and simplify setup and ongoing management.
2

Leave Requests Module Enabled

Enables the Leave module for the organisation. When turned on:
  • The Leave module appears in menus
  • The Leave Requests section appears in Our Profile
3

Leave Can Be Applied For

Determines which types of work staff can request leave for:
  • Contracted Hours / Work Patterns
    Most restrictive. Staff can only apply for leave on days they are contracted or expected to work on an ongoing basis. Contracted Hours are configured in the Staff module.
  • Rostered Shifts / Contracted Hours / Work Patterns
    Allows leave requests for any rostered shift, including manually added roster shifts.
  • Casual Shifts / Rostered Shifts / Contracted Hours / Work Patterns
    Allows leave requests for any time period.
    Recommended for most organisations, as it avoids user confusion and unnecessary restrictions. The ability for staff to apply for casual leave can be turned on and off individually in their Staff profile, so there is still a good degree of flexibility.
4

Leave Requests Approved and Managed at Head Office

If enabled, local organisations cannot access the Leave module. All leave requests are sent to Head Office for management.
This option is rarely used since the introduction of Leave Endorsements, which provide more flexible approval workflows.
Only recommended where staff are fully managed by Head Office.
5

Leave Endorsements Enabled

Enables the Leave Endorsements feature. This allows one user (e.g. a Department Manager) to endorse a leave request, with final approval completed by another user (e.g. a Store Manager).
6

Multiple Department Approval Required

If staff work across multiple Rooms or Departments and submit a leave request that affects more than one area, enabling this option requires each affected Room or Department to approve the request before it can be finalised.
7

Escalate Leave Requests if Unactioned After {NUMBER} Days

If a leave request is not approved or declined within the specified number of days, a reminder email is sent to the email addresses nominated in the Additional Users section of Our Profile.
  • Set to 0 days to disable reminders.
8

Show Annual Leave Projected Balances

Calculates and displays projected leave balances for future dates based on current balances and leave entitlements. Requires a leave entitlement to calculate.
These projections appear on leave requests to assist decision-makers.
9

Show Projected Balances to Staff

Displays projected leave balances to staff while they are submitting leave requests, helping them understand their expected balance at the time of leave.
10

Default Leave Entitlement

Leave entitlements can be set individually for each staff member in the Staff module. If left blank, the system will automatically apply the number of weeks specified here.
11

Leave Balance Warnings Enabled

Displays a warning when approving leave if the staff member does not have sufficient leave balance.
Approvers can still proceed if required.
12

Public Holidays Based on Organisation Address

Uses the organisation’s address, rather than the staff member’s address, to determine applicable public holidays.
Useful for organisations near state or regional boundaries where staff may live in areas with different public holidays.
