Overriding entitlement
If you’d like to change the holiday or sickness entitlement for a specific employee, for a specific year, you can do this by overriding it. Overriding entitlement gives you more direct control over it, but this also means automatic calculations for remaining entitlement based on start/leave date are turned off.
- Go to the
Employees page.
- Click on an employee’s name to be taken to their profile.
- Click on the Contract/Entitlement section in the sidebar.
- Click on the
icon next to the entitlement you’d like to override.
- In the pop-up window, enter the Holiday and Sickness Entitlement in hours into the respective fields.
- Click Save.
What if I override holiday/sickness entitlement after employees have already booked their holidays?
When overriding an employee's entitlement, only the entitlement is changed. Any holidays that have already been scheduled will remain the same. You may be required to go through an employee's holidays to ensure that the amount of entitlement used is in line with the changes.
