Comp Leave & Substitute Day Off

How to apply for compensatory leave (after holiday work) and how it differs from a pre-arranged substitute day off.

【Key difference】

Substitute day off: designated BEFORE holiday work → no holiday premium required

Compensatory leave: taken AFTER holiday work → holiday premium (×1.35) still applies

【Submitting in WorkVell】

Leave Request → select "Comp Leave" or "Substitute Day Off" → enter date → manager approval

【Comp leave expiry】

Company rules typically set a use-by date (end of month or end of next month). WorkVell sends reminders to employees and managers as the deadline approaches.

【Pay impact】

Substitute day off: no pay change. Comp leave: the holiday premium is still paid out on top of the comp day.

Example

Work Sunday → pre-designate next Monday as substitute → no premium, treated as normal workday
