One tag, a whole different policy

A replacement tag hands a group of people a completely different leave policy, allotment, grant model, cycle, rules, without touching the org chart. Tag the executives, the field crew, the works council, and their base policy is replaced, not patched.

The whole policy, not just a number

A replacement tag links to a full leave type. Everyone carrying the tag gets its allotment, grant model, cycle, and rules as their new base.

One override per person

Each person carries at most one replacement tag. When tags meet across levels, the highest priority wins, deterministically, never a blend.

Wins over the org chart

The tag outranks team, department, and location policies, so a small group can differ from its surroundings without restructuring anything.

Additive bonuses still stack

Seniority, duty, union, and custom bonus days keep adding on top of the replaced allotment. Replacement changes the base; additive tops it up.

The details, spelled out

Personal override wins

A policy assigned directly to a person beats every tag. Replacement wins over org levels, never over an individual assignment.

Managers see the source

The team policy view spells it out: the replacement tag sets 30 days effective against a team base of 25. No guessing where a number came from.

Assignments stay accountable

Tags are created and assigned by admins; managers can suggest, admins review. Changes land in the audit trail.

Transparent in the balance

The effective allotment is visible in approval dialogs and balance breakdowns, so the override is never a mystery number.

Values in the visuals are examples. Every replacement tag links to a policy you configure.

Precedence

Where the tag sits in the chain

Effective policy resolves in a fixed order: person, tag, team, department, location.

  • A replacement tag beats team, department, and location, and the linked leave type becomes the person's base policy.
  • A policy assigned directly to the person beats the tag; individual assignments always win.
  • If replacement tags could apply from several levels, the one with the highest priority wins; ties resolve deterministically.

Setup

Create the override in one modal

Replacement tags live in Advanced Settings, next to the rest of your segmentation.

  • Pick the replacement mode in the tag modal and link the policy it overrides; the link is required and validated.
  • Assign the tag to people directly; each person carries at most one replacement tag.
  • Deactivate or archive the tag and everyone falls back to their normal org-level policy.

Visibility

Everyone sees what applies

An override no one understands is a support ticket waiting to happen.

  • Managers see which tag sets how many effective days, next to what the team base would have been.
  • Approvers see the effective allotment, including tags, right in the approve dialog.
  • Employees see their balance built from the replaced base, with additive bonuses itemized on top.

Frequently asked questions

What is a replacement tag?
A segmentation tag that assigns a completely different leave policy to everyone carrying it. Instead of adjusting numbers, it replaces the person's base policy with the leave type linked to the tag, allotment, grant model, cycle, and rules included.
Can one person have two replacement tags?
No. Each person carries at most one replacement tag. If tags could apply from several org levels, the one with the highest priority wins, resolved deterministically, and policies never blend.
What exactly gets replaced, just the number of days?
The whole policy. The tag links to a full leave type, so the person's grant model, cycle, and rules follow the linked policy, not just the allotment.
Do additive tags still apply on top of a replacement tag?
Yes. Additive bonus days from seniority, duty, union, or custom tags stack on the replaced allotment. Replacement sets the base; additive adds to it.
What wins: a replacement tag or a personal policy override?
The personal override. A policy assigned directly to a person always beats every tag. Replacement tags win over team, department, and location, not over individual assignments.
