Deep Dive into Work From Home (WFH) and Comp Offs

Complete Field Reference (Comp Offs):

• Worked Date: The specific past date (weekend or holiday) you worked extra hours.
• Description: Details of the tasks completed to justify the extra time.
• Manager Approval: Crucial step. Your manager must verify the work before the balance is granted.

How Comp Offs Work:

• Earning Phase: You submit a Comp Off request for a past Saturday. Once approved, the system credits `+1` to your "Comp Off Balance".
• Spending Phase: Later in the month, you apply for a standard leave and select "Comp Off" as the Leave Type. The system deducts `1` from your Comp Off Balance.
• Expiry Rules: Most organizations configure Comp Offs to expire after 30 to 90 days. The system will automatically void the balance if not spent within the timeframe.

How WFH Works:

• You apply for WFH for specific dates.
• Once approved, you are not required to punch in from the office IP address (if IP restrictions are enabled).
• The WFH day is treated as a standard working day for payroll purposes—it does not deduct from your standard leave balances (Casual/Sick).

Troubleshooting & FAQs:

• *Q: I tried to apply for a Comp Off leave, but it says insufficient balance.*

A: You cannot apply for a Comp Off leave in advance. You must first "earn" it by logging a past worked day, getting it approved, and ensuring the balance is credited before you can spend it.
