# Unlimited leave allowance

Who can do this:

**HR Manager**

**Administrator**

### Introduction

Unlimited Leave or PTO (Paid Time Off) is a benefit some companies implement which means their employees have an unlimited amount of leave allowance.

You can enable this policy to grant your employees an unlimited amount of Leave.

This feature works by switching off the Leave Allowance from a Work Profile, which will remove all mention of allowances for employees. They will no longer have a Leave Allowance from which to request and instead have an unlimited amount of requests they could submit.

To enable this, go to **Leave > Admin & Config > Work Profiles**. Select the Work Profile you wish to edit, or create a new one and head to the Leave Settings tab. Under Default Entitlement, untick the Enable Leave Allowance box, a dialog will appear asking you to confirm. Click OK, then click Save Changes.

There is **no need** to run the allowance calculator, this change will be immediate.

While all mentions of allowance amounts will be removed from users' profiles, the Allowances tab of the Leave section will still show. This is to preserve any historic or future audit trails.

If you wish for an employee to have an allowance associated you can do so by changing the details of the Work Profile, or by moving the employee to a Work Profile which has an allowance.
