Quickly Create Part-Day Approved leave
You can quickly add a leave accrual or part-day leave by clicking on the 'thumbs down' to deny a scheduled shift and adding the leave type taken. The example below shows TIL Accruals.
What you then see is a greyed out scheduled shift as well as leave for the hours you entered above:
You will notice an icon in the middle of the greyed out shift. Click this to restore the shift - this will place the shift back, but it will not remove the TIL accrual you created.
You can then approve the shift for the desired time:
This comes in handy when the whole shift accrues TIL, for example on public holidays, or even if an employee goes home sick part-way through a shift (thus requiring sick leave taken).
