# New Improvements To Request Policies

#### **What’s New**

Previously, request policies (for leave, exit, loans, and salary advance) could only be set up based on employee **paygrades**. With this update, you now have greater flexibility — you can now create request policies using:

- **Paybands**
- **Paygrades**
- Or even **custom groups** (for employees not linked by compensation structure)

This means you can now tailor your policies more precisely to your organization’s unique structure.

#### **Next Steps**

To ensure a smooth transition, we’ve temporarily defaulted your current policies to **paygrades**.

However, moving forward, you will need to update your setup by creating new request policies for your **paybands** or **custom groups**.

**To create request policies using Paybands, follow these steps:**

1. Go to Request
2. Select ( Leaves, salary advance, loan, exit).
3. Choose Create
4. Give the policy a name
5. Select Paybands as the group
