How do I assign a public holiday calendar and time-off types when onboarding a new employee?
When onboarding a new employee in Sesame HR, you can assign the public holiday calendar and available time-off types directly during the creation process, without having to configure them afterwards from their profile.
Step by step
Step 1: start creating the employee
Go to Employees >> Create employee and enter the basic details as you normally would.
Step 2: access the configuration step
During the creation process, you'll find a specific configuration step with the following options:
-
Public holiday calendar: select the calendar that corresponds to the employee from the menu, based on their workplace, shift, or location.
- Time-off types: choose which time-off types they will have available to request from day one.
Step 3: complete the onboarding
Review the configuration and click "Save" or "Finish".
The employee will be created with the calendar and time-off types already assigned, with no additional steps required.
Important
-
Default settings: if you do not select a calendar or time-off types during onboarding, Sesame will automatically apply the company's default settings.
- Editing afterwards: you can modify these assignments at any time from the employee's profile or from the calendar and time-off configuration.
