Overriding entitlement

Overriding entitlement

If you’d like to change the holiday or sickness entitlement for a specific staff member, 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.
  1. Go to the  Staff page.
  2. Click on a staff member’s name to be taken to their profile.
  3. Click on the Contract/Entitlement section in the sidebar. 
  4. Click on the  icon next to the entitlement you’d like to override.
  5. In  the pop-up window, enter the Holiday and Sickness Entitlement in hours into the respective fields.
  6. Click Save.
