How do I set a default amount of holiday for employees?
Summary
You may set up the default number of days your employees are allowed to take as holiday. This will then be entered into the Holiday Days field on Page 1: General, when a new employee record is created. This can be amended in the employee's record as necessary. You may also specify whether holiday days can be carried over Tax Years.
Details
- Go to "Payroll" -> "Payroll Parameters/Maintenance" -> "Company Parameters" -> "General Company Details"

This is a default setting. When new employee records are created, this default figure will be entered into the Holiday Days field on Page 1: General of the employee's record.

Enter the number of days holiday employees are entitled to by default e.g. 20.
| PLEASE NOTE: This can be amended in the employee record for individuals - see Employee Amendments -> General (Page 1). This field is not compulsory so you may set it to Zero if necessary. |

Do you want any unused holiday days to be carried forward to the next Tax Year?

- "N" - No, at the start of a new year any days left are lost.
