Changing contract hours/days

  3. Click on the Contract/Entitlement section in the sidebar. 
  4. Click on the  icon next to an Entitlement Year in the table to change the Contract Hours/Days for that year.
  5. In the Effective Date field in the pop-up window, choose the date when you’d like these changes to take place.
  6. On the left you can see the current Contract Hours, Number of Contract Days, and which Contract Days the employee works. Fill in the new details on the right.
  7. Check the box next to Reset Future Entitlement to also apply the changes to all succeeding years.
  8. Click Save.

What if I change contract hours/days after employees have already booked their holidays?
When making changes to an employee's contract and entitlement, any holidays that have already been scheduled will remain the same. You may be required to go through an employee's holidays to ensure the hours reflect the changes to the contract. For instance, if there has been a change to the number of contracted hours per day, then that will alter the number of entitlement hours required for a full day's holiday.
