Employee Project

The "Employee project" tab is used to configure the project that contains all employee issues:

• Employee project: Select a project from the menu that should be used to capture the employees as issues.
• User ID custom field: Select a user picker custom field that links to the employee's Jira user account.
• Leave entitlement custom field: Select the custom field that stores the employee's leave entitlement.
• Residual leave custom field: Select the custom field that stores the employee's residual leave.
• Total vacation custom field: Select the custom field that stores the employee's total vacation days for the current year.
• Total special leave custom field: Select the custom field that stores the employee's total special leave days for the current year.
• Total sick leave custom field: Select the custom field that stores the employee's total sick leave days for the current year.
• Issue link type: Select the issue link type to link employee issues and leave issues with.

If you use the "Employee Directory" template to create your employee project, the custom fields and link type needed for this section are created automatically.
