Processing remaining vacation days

An employee's remaining vacation days are sent for processing when a vacation year changes.

Depending on the vacation law of the country associated with the employee, the remaining vacation days are processed when that country’s vacation year changes.

Examples:

  • Denmark: 31/12

  • Norway: 31/12

  • Sweden: 31/3

How to...

Click: Payroll Admin -> Vacation left transfer:

  1. Select the employee(s) to be processed.

  2. Click: Handle selected users

  3. Choose method:

    1. Delete

    2. Pay out

    3. Transfer

  4. Process

Example:

If "Pay out" is chosen with a maximum of 5 days, this means:

  • A maximum of 5 days will be paid out.

  • If an employee has more than 5 days remaining, the days exceeding the chosen maximum will be deleted.

  • Employee balances will be reduced using the "Pay out" method.

  • Days reduced through payout are sent to the payroll file and can be directly transferred to your payroll system.

Please note: Remaining vacation days are always transferred to the subsequent vacation year. If there are leftover remaining vacation days from multiple prior years, a transfer cannot skip over a vacation year

💁 Transferred days are added to the employee’s starting balance for the new vacation year. For Denmark, this will be in January.

💁 Paid out days: Technically, the system first transfers the remaining days to the new vacation year, and then the days are paid out. The process is automatic.

💁 Transferred and paid out remaining vacation days are recorded in the log and displayed under the vacation balance’s "See history" and in the Vacation left report via HR Statistics > Vacation.
