How Do I Set Staff Members Annual Leave Entitlement

Holiday leave can be set for the whole company, a department, a staff member or a combination. for example, you can say everyone in your company has 25 days of holiday apart from a select few users who have 10 days as they are part-time. The guide below will help you set holiday entitlement for individual staff members.

Pro-Rata Holiday

The Tempora holiday system will allow you to pro-rata holiday by configuring a list of rules for staff members. These rules will define the number of holiday days a staff member should receive based on when they joined the company.

When creating pro-rata rules these are often set at the <All> value so all staff are subject to the same rules.

1. Click on Admin >Absence > Holiday > Annual Leave Entitlement
   
   
   
   
   
2. Set Staff to <All> or select a staff member if you would like to pro-rata an individual staff member.
   
   
   
3. You can now configure the Holiday rule
   
   Periods - The order in which the rules will be applied
   Period length - The number of days, weeks, months or years in each period.
   Units - The type of period defined e.g. 1 day, week or month,
   Days - The number of days holiday this user should receive once the period is completed
   Year-End - If enabled this will show the users full holiday entitlement for the full year from their joining date. 
   
   
4. Holiday rule example 
   
   
   
   In this example every 20 days worked the staff member will receive one day of holiday time.
