ARTICLE: Leave Request Cut Off Times and How to Set Them in Reach
You can set Cutt-Off times for any Leave
Types that help you to manage when students can apply for the leave.
Setting Cut-Offs is done in the Leave Type
Configuration screen > Cut-Offs Tab.
Cut Offs can be Soft or Hard
- A SOFT Cut-Off will
allow the leave to still be submitted if the cut-off time is passed.
- A HARD Cut-Off will
not allow the leave to be submitted if the cut-off time is passed.
Cut Off Types
Cut-Offs can be set to expire on a set date, to run on a regular weekly cycle or to operate with a Buffer.
- Weekly Cycle cut offs will close and re-open on the specified days and time set in the weekly settings.
- Specific Date Cut-Offs are ideal for
special events or holidays that require leave to be submitted by a particular
closure date.
- Buffer Cut-Offs will set a Buffer Period (in hours) which is a minimum time frame between the request being submitted and the departure
time for the request (Eg: Leave must be submitted >48 hours from
departure time)
