Sick Leave Setup for RSE Workers

Here is a short guide on how to set up an RSE worker so that they receive two days of Sick Leave on their first day of employment, followed by another two days every month from that day, until they receive a total of ten days after four months.

If you would like to learn more about the requirements for RSE workers, please visit the official New Zealand immigration page.

Go to "Company Settings", then "Payroll Settings".

Open "Advanced Settings".

Then open "Other Settings".

Enable "Will employ RSE workers".

Select "Save".

Next, go to "Employee Settings", then "Employee Details".

When setting up a new employee, you can configure the Sick Leave entitlement under "Default Entitlement". You can also do this for an existing employee.

Select the employee from the left-hand side of the page.

Open "Default Entitlement" under "Other Details".

On the right-hand side of the menu, set the "Sick Leave Entitlement" to be 10 days after 4 months of continuous employment.

Select "Save".

If you only employ RSE workers, you can apply these settings by default to all new staff by configuring the same "4" months criteria under the "Leave Settings" section of the "Company Settings", "Payroll Settings" page.

Once this is set up for your staff, the system will automatically give the employee their first two days of sick leave entitlement on their first day of employment, and renew each month until they have received a total of ten days by their fourth month. Below is an example of how this automatic renewal looks in the system:
