Time Off types are based on company policies and can vary. Every employee is entitled for certain leaves which he/she can avail based on prior approvals of his line of business leader or manager. To name a few common Time-off rules companies tend to use:

1. Paid Time Off or Vacation
2. Sick Leave
3. Unpaid Leave
4. Jury Duty
5. Time off in Lieue
6. Bereavement Leave

Company or public holidays on fixed dates such as Christmas or New Year are coded into your company's holiday calendar and do not need to be configured as a separate time-off rule.

Rules are based on the type of Time off's allocated by HR to each employee and are highly customizable, for example:

1. What is the accural period and how many days are allocated for annual entitlement
2. If accruals will be credited to an employee's account on monthly or annual basis
3. If leave is not accrued per say, rather employees may instead run a negative balance (or if employees can "borrow days" by running a negative balance even when leave is accrued)
4. If leave can be requested and booked for less than a whole day (and what fractions can be used)
5. Whether can be taken or separately whether it accrues during probation of notice of termination periods
6. Whether the amount of leave an employee has earned changes over time based on their months of service
7. Whether the month's leave is accrued ahead of time on 1st of new month or in arrears on last day or month
8. The approval procedure for time off requests
