Assigning Leave for employees within an organization is considered to be a normal and necessary task. For various reasons, employees can take leave. Nevertheless, there are situations where workers may be unable to apply for a leave-in advance because of an emergency or sometimes a director might decide to assign leave to a number of employees in return for a job well done. For example, in a particular region, a certain group of workers is unable to apply for leave through the normal process as they are impacted due to power outages. Additionally, a company's managers or HR professionals may face the problem of not being able to assign leave in bulk to their workers, perhaps due to limitations of the existing system. With OrangeHRM’s ‘Bulk Assign’ feature, managers / HR professionals are now able to filter and assign leave in bulk for a certain set of employees.
This feature is only available to an HR Admin (Global and Regional) and ESS-Supervisor. To assign leave in bulk, select Leave -> Bulk Assign. The Bulk Assign screen will appear as follows:
