Every organization manages employee vacation differently. With these updates, the Time Off module adapts to a wide range of internal policies and regulatory requirements, introducing new ways to calculate and view vacation balances.
More flexibility for your Time Off policies
Every organization has its own approach to vacation management. These enhancements provide additional options to configure balances and leave policies based on your operational and compliance needs.
How can you tailor your vacation policies?
- Prorated balances from day one: New hires automatically receive the vacation days they’re entitled to based on their hire date.
- Advance balance deduction for future periods: Approved requests can be deducted from an employee’s balance before the next accrual cycle begins.
- Carryover as a percentage: Set the maximum number of vacation days that can roll over based on a percentage of the accrued balance.
- Unlimited vacation policy support: Count only working days, automatically excluding weekends and public holidays.
Keep everyone informed throughout the process
Knowing the status of a request and receiving timely reminders before vacation balances expire helps employees and managers plan ahead while reducing unnecessary follow-ups.
What’s included in this update?
- Configurable balance expiration alerts to notify employees before unused vacation days expire.
- Approval timestamps that display the exact date and time a request was approved, rejected, or canceled.
How these updates help in everyday work?
These enhancements help solve common scenarios, including:
- Want employees to use their vacation before it expires? Set up automatic balance expiration reminders.
- Need to plan time off for the next accrual cycle using accurate balances? Enable advance deductions for future requests.
- Hiring someone in the middle of the year? Automatically calculate their prorated vacation balance.

These updates make the Time Off module more adaptable by improving balance calculations, increasing visibility into leave requests, and providing the flexibility to support different organizational policies.
