Time off allowance and balance

How the balance is counted

Each employee has a balance for each year:

• the company’s default days, set in Settings. For someone who works only part of the year, Skileo counts them for the months worked;
• plus the additional days you give that person;
• plus the days carried over from last year, when your company allows it.

The days of the employee’s approved time off are taken from it, but only for absence types that count against the allowance. See Set up absence types and holidays.

Days the employee doesn’t work and your company’s holidays are never counted.

Where you see it

• In a time off request, for a type that counts against the allowance: the tiles Total, Taken, Available and Requested.
• On the employee’s edit page, in the Time off section: one line per year with Transferred, Default, Additional, Total, Days taken and Remaining.

Set the company’s rules

1. Open Settings, then the Time off tab.
2. In the Paid leave section:
   • Set default number of paid leave days per year;
   • Allow employees to carry-over holidays to next year;
   • Allow employees to take advance holidays: when this is off, a request can’t be approved for more days than the employee has available;
   • Unused leave days from previous year reset each year, and Set the date when unused leave days reset.
3. Click Save.

Change one employee’s allowance

1. Open the employee’s edit page and find the Time off section. You can also open a time off request for that employee and click the pencil next to Request year.
2. The window Edit time off allowance opens for the current year:
   • Days from last year: you can change it only when your company carries days over;
   • Default days: the company’s setting, read-only;
   • Additional days off: the extra days for this person, from 0 to 365;
   • Total days off: the result.
3. Click Save.

Only the current year can be changed.
