Is it necessary to delete an employee's old leave scheme when they are linked to a new one?

An employee can only be linked to one leave scheme at a time. Should an employee need to be linked to a new leave scheme, simply add a new Leave Scheme record, which will override the old leave scheme record.

Deleting the current leave scheme record will result in the deletion of the employee's historical leave data. Therefore, it is advised not to delete the old record.

      

      Navigate > Employee > Leave > Setup

      

Note! If an employee is linked to a new leave scheme in the middle of a cycle, ensure that the Leave Bucket Mapping module (only available on the Premier and Master Payroll editions) has been configured so that leave balances can be automatically transferred from the old scheme to the new scheme. Alternatively, leave adjustments will have to be created to correct the leave balances.
