# Full and part-time equivalent leave profiles

Who can do this:

**HR Manager**

**Administrator**

> [!WARNING]
> **Important!**
> 
> **Work profiles** have been renamed as **leave profiles**. The working rota functionality previously configured here has moved to the new **work patterns** feature; everything relating to leave, sickness, and entitlements remains unchanged and stays in leave profiles. See [Guide: Work patterns](/hr/docs/guide-work-patterns) for the new feature, or [Guide: Leave profiles](/hr/docs/guide-leave-profiles) for what's changed.

As work profiles have been split up into leave profiles (for leave) and work patterns (for work), all the functionality for part-time employees is now found in work patterns. If you had previously set up part-time employees in work profiles, then the procedure for doing it in work profiles still works by creating a part-time work pattern as a child of a full-time. See [Create work patterns: FTE](/hr/docs/create-work-patterns#step-3-fte).
