    • Currently, the state ‘Telangana’ doesn’t exist in the application, however you can add it in the ‘other’ category. Go to:
      Site Config -> Locations -> States -> Add+ -> Select the Country: as ‘India’ and select the State: ‘Other’. In the field ‘Other State’ enter Telangana.

    • Hi Christina,

      When you add employees to Sentrifugo, emails containing credentials will be sent to their provided email ids. Approval levels work according to Reporting Managers. For example, an employee’s reporting manager can approve the employee’s leave request.

        The email ID configured in ‘Email Contacts’ under HR Group will be able to receive email notification regarding the employee leave.
        Go to: Site Configurations -> General -> Email Contacts -> Add. According to a Business Unit, you can configure the group mail.

  6. Hi

    Firstly – great product!!!

    Secondly – Is it possible for an employee to request leave, and then their managers, manager to approve it.

    For example, if the employees manager is off sick, could the manager of that manager approve the request?

    Many Thanks

  10. Excellent HR tool you have put together here. My primary use for it is the Leave Management module. With the way it is currently setup, the leave allocation per employee covers all leave types and does not set individual limits. How do you recommend managing a system where each employee has a variable number of vacation days (10,15,20, etc) and a fixed number of sick days (14) to ensure that each manager knows how many vacation days they are allowed to approve without having to have external listings?

    Alternatively, is multiple leave type tracking on the future feature list?

    • Hi,
      Thank you for showing interest in our product! Any number of leave days can be allocated manually to employees. An HR can manually allocate 14 sick leave days once every year to every employee. Currently in Sentrifugo, leaves are allocated manually, if you require any customization, kindly contact sales@sentrifugo.com. Thanks!

    • Hi,
      Kindly go to: HR > Leave Management > Leave Management Options. Add/Edit an option for a business unit/department. Select the option ‘Yes’ for the field ‘Allow Leave Transfers?’. This will enable users to transfer their leaves accumulated in a year to the next year.

    • Hi Tarun,

      Thank you for choosing Sentrifugo. Sorry to disappoint you, currently Sentrifugo doesn’t have the provision for Comp off.
      You can however create a ‘Comp off’ leave type by following this path:
      HR->Employee Configuration–>Leave Types–>Add, and ask the employee to select that type when he/she is applying for a leave.
      The HR will also need to allocate extra leave days (equivalent to the comp off taken by the employee) to the employee’s leave balance.

        But I am facing another issue is like comp off can be of half day, but during leave allocation system only allow me/HR to add integer number, no decimal allow like 0.5, how can I achieve this?

  16. Hi Tarun,

    Hope you have created a leave type for ‘Comp off’ by following the above procedure.
    In Sentrifugo either the admin /HR have the privilege to allocate decimal number of leaves.
    But the employee can select ‘Comp off’ as leave type and select Leave for option as ‘Half day’, then immediately 0.5 days is populated and debited from employee leaves.

  19. Can HR Manually deduct Leave for the Employee? Suppose any unplanned leave has been taken by the Employee then I just don’t want to deduct one leave directly, I need that there must be an Entry that HR can Add on Employee’s behalf to Keep Record Daywise.

    For this, I’ve already created one category as Unplanned Leave. So I can track how many uninformed/unplanned leaves have been taken during the year for one particular employee.

    • Hi,
      Currently, in Sentrifugo the HR will not be able to raise a leave request on behalf of an employee. The HR can only deduct leaves directly from the employee’s leave balance from HR > Employees > Click edit against any employee’s name > Click ‘Leave’ sub menu option on left side > Enter a digit with ‘minus’ sign (E.g. -2, -3) to deduct that number of leave days. Thank you!
