When booking time off within Natural HR, there is the option to select whether or not the request is for a full day, just the morning (AM) or the afternoon (PM). 

To enable the AM/PM selection, from within an administrator account, you will need to go to:

Administration > Company > Settings > Time off settings (global)

 In the 'Self service' section, to enable AM/PM selection, both of the following fields must be set to 'Yes':

• 'Allow employees to enter time off days/ hours'  - as employees must be able to type 0.5 if calculated in days or the number of hours in the duration box. 
• 'Allow employees to specify AM/PM for half day bookings'

Once these fields have been changed, click on the 'Submit' button to save the changes. 

In order for the system to accept this submission, users will need to make sure that the 'Start' and 'End' date for the request are entered for the same day; if the 'Start' and 'End' date of the request are different, for example, booking 2.5 days of leave, this will need to be submitted as two separate requests (2 days and a half day) so that the system can clearly recognise on which day the half day is to be taken. 

If a half-day request has been submitted, this will be indicated with AM or PM on the employee's and Admin, HR and manager's calendars.
