Introduction

Half-day leaves provide employees with flexibility when they need time off for only a few hours rather than an entire day.

This feature is especially useful for appointments, personal tasks, or partial absences that don’t warrant a full day’s leave.

uKnowva HRMS allows administrators to enable or disable the half-day leave system-wide based on the company’s HR policies.

By controlling this setting, HR teams can align leave flexibility with attendance rules while simplifying record-keeping for payroll and compliance purposes.

In this article, we will walk you through the process of enabling or disabling half-day leaves through the configuration panel in uKnowva HRMS.

Step 1: Accessing the Configuration Settings

Begin by logging into your uKnowva HRMS account. Once on the dashboard, locate your profile icon at the top right corner of the screen.

Click on it to reveal a drop-down menu, and from the list of available options, select uKnowva Configuration.

This will redirect you to the configuration panel where all system-level settings can be managed.

On the left side of this interface, you will see a vertical menu that includes several configuration categories such as Apps Manager, Plugin Manager, User Manager, and Global Configuration.

Step 2: Modifying the Half-day Leave Setting

From the configuration categories, click on Apps Manager to proceed. A comprehensive list of available apps will now appear on your screen.

Here, you can either scroll down the list manually or use the search bar to quickly locate the HRM Lite module.

Once you find it, click on it to open a pop-up window containing various settings related to the HRM Lite functionality.

Inside this pop-up, scroll through the options to locate the setting titled “Would the employee be allowed to take half day leaves?”

This setting determines whether employees can apply for half-day leaves across the platform.

To enable the feature, toggle the switch to Yes. If your policy requires disabling half-day leave functionality, simply toggle the switch to No.

Once the appropriate option is selected, click on the Save button at the bottom of the pop-up to apply the changes.

If you decide not to proceed with the changes, you can click on Cancel to exit without saving.

You’ve now successfully enabled or disabled half-day leaves in uKnowva HRMS.

By following this process, you ensure that your leave system supports your company’s flexibility requirements while staying aligned with your internal policies.
