Write the name of the other vacation balance

What should be the name of the employee facing balance?

  • Other vacation

  • Care days

  • Floating holidays

  • PTO (Paid time off)

Setup earning of the balance

Select earning to be:

  • yearly or monthly

Select the official period of the balance. For example:

  • 1.1 to 31.12

Add:

  • the number of days earned per year
    ( If monthly earning is selected. You still add number of days per year)

ℹ️ If yearly earning is selected. Select how new employees should earn the first period.

  • Full earning first year.

  • Earning after X month from date of employment.

  • No earning first year - date of employment determines earning the following year.

ℹ️ If monthly earning is selected

New employees earn the first day of a new month.

They only earn if they are linked to the policy the first day of the month.

For example, 5 days are earned per year:

5/12 = 0,42 days earned per month.

Examples of quarterly and half year earning:

5 / 2 = 2.5 days earned per half-year.

5 / 4 = 1.25 days earned per quarter.

How to handle days/hours not used?

All Other vacation periods except Denmark 1/9 - 31/12

What should happen to days/ hours not used at the end of a period?

Should they be:

  • Transfered to the new period

  • Deleted

Select which transfer option to apply:

If the other vacation period "Denmark 1/9 - 31/12" is chosen

Remaining days/hours are automatically transferred on 1/9.

Transferred remaining days/hours are marked as "old days" that expire on 31/12 in the employee's statistics:

Old days cannot be used after 1/1.

On 1/1, old days/hours that have expired are transferred to the remaining holiday-free list.

From this list, days/hours can be:

  • Deleted

  • Paid out

  • Transferred

From the "Transfer" Tab, You Can:

  • 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.
