Holidays & leave settings
Where you keep your yearly holiday list and the rules behind every kind of leave.
Holidays
Settings → Holidays is your holiday calendar, with a year stepper at the top and an Add Holiday button.
Each holiday is one entry with an "Applies to" scope — you don't keep a separate calendar per branch. By default a holiday applies to everyone; narrow it with any mix of:
| Scope | Matches | Example |
|---|---|---|
| State | The state of the employee's work location | A regional festival in one state only |
| Branch | A specific work location | A one-off local holiday |
| Department | A specific team | An IT-only offsite day |
| Employment type | Full-time, contract, and so on | A perk for permanent staff only |
Leave a scope empty to mean "all". Set two scopes and an employee must match both. A state-scoped holiday automatically covers future branches you open in that state.
The type label (National, State, Company, Optional) is informational — the scope arrays do the real work of deciding who gets the day off.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Date | The holiday date |
| Name | What it's called |
| Type | The informational label above |
| Applies to | A summary of the scope you set |
Add your national holidays with no scope so they reach everyone, then add regional ones scoped to a state. Use the "Show for branch" preview to check what a given branch will see before you finish.
Because holidays follow the work location's state, an employee's holiday list matches where they work, not where they live — and it shows automatically on their employee portal calendar.
Leave Settings
Settings → Leave Settings holds the rules for every leave type — the same thing you first configured in the wizard. This is a reference of what's there; the full walkthrough is on leave types and policies.
Webelio seeds a starter set at signup:
| Type | Default quota | How it's earned | Carry forward | Encashable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casual Leave (CL) | 12 | Given upfront each year | No | No |
| Earned Leave (EL) | 18 | Earned month by month | Yes | Yes |
| Sick Leave (SL) | 12 | Given upfront each year | No | No |
| Compensatory Off (CO) | 0 | Granted by HR for extra work | No | No |
| Unpaid Leave (LWP) | 0 | Used when balance runs out | — | — |
For each type you can change the yearly quota, how it accrues (all at once, monthly, or quarterly), whether unused days carry forward or lapse at year-end, whether they can be encashed, and application limits. You can add your own types (like Maternity or Paternity, which can be scoped to one gender).
Comp-Off (CO) and Unpaid Leave (LWP) are built-in and can't be deleted or switched off — Webelio needs them to grant time off for extra work and to handle days taken beyond a person's balance.
Per-employee quotas, year-end carry-forward, and comp-off grants are managed under Leave Management, not here — this tab sets the org-wide policy.
