How to setup partial day policy?


    A Partial day is considered when an employee is allowed to arrive late or leave early in case of a certain emergency or personal emergency. Ideally, the partial day request varies from 30 minutes to 120 minutes on a particular day. While keeping track of all the partial-day requests might be a tedious task, we can set up the policies & keep track of the employee's partial-day requests.


    Below is the path from where partial-day policy can be setup- 


    Go to the Time Attend (1) section of the Keka Portal, then click on Attendance Tracking (2). Then go to the Capture Scheme (3) tab as shown below. 




    Select the capture scheme where you wish to make changes or you can follow the same steps while creating a new capture scheme. After selecting the desired capture scheme, click on the edit icon. 


    Now the Update Capture Scheme Window will open up which is divided into several sections. To set up a Partial day policy, you need to finish all steps (In case of creating a new capture scheme) and then go to the next step i.e., Regularisation, to do the same. 


    Once you reach the Regularise section, toggle the switch for Partial day (Employees can request permission for coming late, leaving early, or any time during the shift hours) Then, set up the rules for requesting partial days for ___ minutes in a week/month/quarter/half year/year.

    Under this option, you will be given different settings where you can specify that employees can only request permission for a certain number of minutes in a partial workday for late arrivals, early departures, or absences during the shift. You can further customize this based on the number of instances in a given period or cumulative minutes in a period from the dropdown menu.

    Similarly, do all the required settings for the same and then click on Save.


    Once you click on Save(2), the configuration for the partial day will be saved for this capture scheme.
