Good to Know

• Every organisation starts with Ghana's eight types: annual, maternity, paternity, compassionate, sick, study, unpaid and other leave.
• Agoo keeps the defaults in line with the law. Nobody is left below a legal minimum.
• A private type shows to line managers as Away. Only HR and the person see what kind of leave it is.
• Archive a type you no longer use. Leave already taken keeps its type, and you can bring it back.
• The pay code is what payroll files put this leave under.

If Something Goes Wrong

• You can't see Types. Only HR, Owners and Admins manage leave types.
• Agoo warns you before you save carry-over. Forfeiting annual leave is legally uncertain in Ghana. Read the warning before you go ahead.
• A payroll file won't make. A leave type in it has no pay code. Add one here.
