FAQ: How does leave work for sleepover shifts that include active time?

Question: How does leave work for sleepover shifts that include active time?
Answer: When a sleepover shift includes active work before and/or after the sleep period, the system automatically separates these active portions and excludes the standard sleepover block from leave calculations.

Here’s what happens:

• The booking is identified as a sleepover (moon icon).



• When you select the booking in a Leave Application, it’s automatically added under Select Days.


• The system splits the shift into:
Active time before sleep (Example: 9:00 pm – 10:00 pm)


Active time after sleep (Example: 6:00 am – 9:45 am)


• The standard sleepover period (typically 8 hours) is excluded.
• Only the active hours are counted toward leave.

Example:
 1 hour (before sleep) + 3.75 hours (after sleep) = 4.75 total leave hours



This ensures the leave request reflects only payable active time, preventing over- or under-payment and avoiding manual adjustments.
