About extra balance in days

Extra balance is a flexible balance that can cover things like care days, a 6th week of vacation, other vacation, or other company-specific days off – depending on how it’s set up at your company.

This guide shows you how to request days from your extra balance.

How to request days

You can request extra balance days via the mobile app, Outlook app, or web portal.

1. Create a registration

  • Click “Add registration”
    ​

  • Select extra balance (or whatever name your company uses)

2. Choose the period

  • Enter the start and end date
    ​

  • The system will automatically calculate the number of days

The green balance box shows:

  • How many hours you have available

  • How many hours you are requesting

  • How many hours will be left after the registration (remaining)

Requesting unearned days

You can’t request more days than you’ve earned.

If you try:

  • a red balance box will appear
    ​

  • the request can’t be completed

FAQ

Why can’t I save my registration and get a red box?

If you try to request more days than you have available in your extra balance, the balance box will turn red and block the registration.

I can’t select other vacation. It says I need to schedule vacation first. Why is that?

If the app asks you to schedule X vacation days first, it’s because your company has activated a rule. You’ll need to schedule the number of vacation days the app asks for before you can schedule your other vacation days.
