Adjust whether transferred days as of September 1 by default are old days that expire or decide if employees are allowed to accumulate a carryover balance without expiration on December 31.
Enable a rule requiring that expiring days be used before vacation days.
ℹ️ If other vacation is accrued monthly, set the Maximum Balance rule to 4 months * the monthly accrual rate. For example, 4 * 0.42 = 1.68.
ℹ️ If other vacation is accrued annually, the Maximum Balance rule cannot be set to less than the annual accrual.
Example: Maximum Balance Rule
The annual accrual is 5 days.
Maximum balance rule: 10 days is entered.
Then it's only unused days exceeding 10 that will be marked to expire on December 31.
Example: Expired Days Rule
If the rule is activated, employees cannot use vacation days until expired days have been used.
