Leave Policy
The documented rules governing how employees earn, request, and use time off.
A leave policy sets out eligibility, accrual or grant method, request and approval processes, carryover, payout, and how holidays are handled. It's the reference both staff and managers rely on.
Clear, written, consistently applied policies prevent disputes and keep you compliant with local law.
Example: A handbook section stating '15 days PTO, accrued bi-weekly, 5-day carryover cap' is a leave policy.
In Orvella: Encode your policy once in Orvella — accruals, caps, and approvals then run automatically.
