Defaults and limits
What a new workspace starts with, the values a new leave type gets, and the hard limits.
A new workspace
- No leave types and no approval rules. Any type that needs approval is refused with "No approval route configured for leave requests." until a rule exists. See Set up leave approval first.
- Holidays: country DK. Statutory days on; customary days off, and half days when turned on.
- Document categories: Contract, Payslip, Certificate, Disciplinary and Other, created the first time the tab opens.
- Identity generation: initials "2 letters from first name + 2 from last name", email "firstname.lastname", no default domain.
- Tenant Portal switches: "HCM manages employee identity" and "HCM removes access when an employee is terminated" on; "Provision accounts on hire" and "Require every employee to have an account" off.
