# Changing an employee's leave profile

Who can do this:

**HR Manager**

**Administrator**

If an employee's Leave or Sickness entitlement changes, you will need to assign them a new leave profile.

1. Go to **Organisation > Employees** and select the employee.
2. From here, you can either click the pencil icon next to leave profile, or click **Options** and select **Change leave profile**.

From the **Leave Profile Assignments** screen, you can:

- Click **Change Leave Profile** and select a different scheme, and the date on which it will become effective, then **Commit changes**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/fc2cda72-4645-4b36-96bf-60439ec11f11/Images/Documentation/image-D5MBWE29.png)
