# Working Rules and Leave Policy Setup

Configure working hours and leave policies before recording attendance or processing payroll.

## 1. Review your company policy

Confirm working schedules, overtime eligibility, leave entitlements and approval responsibilities with your HR team.

## 2. Set working hours

Enter the standard working hours and applicable schedule templates. Check which employees or departments should use each schedule.

## 3. Configure overtime rules

Record the approved eligibility rules, rates and minimum durations. Use the rules applicable to your employees rather than copying example values.

## 4. Review leave types

Set up the leave categories your organisation uses, including the applicable eligibility, entitlement and approval settings.

## 5. Check the result

Review a sample employee’s schedule, leave balance and attendance record before applying the configuration across the organisation.
