How do I set the time fraction in an hour-based policy?

In time-off policies measured in hours, the time fraction defines the minimum interval the employee can choose when entering the start and end of their request. For example, with a fraction of 1 minute they can request leave from 10:07 to 11:23.

    1. Go to admin.humand.co → Time off and open the Policies tab.
    2. Click the three dots ⋮ next to an hour-based policy and select Edit. If you're creating a new policy, follow the same steps in the wizard.
    3. In the Settings step, go to Request.
    4. Turn on Set the fraction of time that collaborators can request.
    5. In Time fraction, choose one of these options: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes.
    Set the fraction of time option turned on with the list of available fractions
    Time fraction set to 1 minute
    1. Click Next until you reach Validation and then click Save.

    The option appears in policies whose policy type is measured in hours, except for the hour bank. The unit is defined when you create the policy type.

  • When requesting leave for less than a day, the employee chooses the start and end hour and minutes. With a fraction of 1 minute, they can choose any minute, from 00 to 59:

    Before sending the request, the form shows the total time that will be deducted:

    Permiso por horas request from 10:07 to 11:23 with the message You are requesting 1.2667 hours

Choosing the right time fraction lets you record hour-based leave with the precision your company needs, from short absences of a few minutes to full hours.
