How to set up Holiday and Leave Entitlements

Select "Employee Settings", then "Employee Details". Select an employee from the left-hand side and then select "Default Entitlement" under "Other Details".
The image above displays the default settings for a standard permanent employee.

This area is pre-set to display minimum legislative requirements, such as: 4 weeks annual leave and 10 days sick leave. These may be provided as higher entitlements, but should not be less.

You will need to select the region the employee works within. This will enable automated public holiday settings for local Anniversary Days.

This page also allows you to swap over the option from displaying annual leave in hours to a dollar value, hours and a dollar value, days, days and a dollar value, weeks, or weeks and a dollar value. The system will still calculate annual leave in hours, but the payslips will display differently. If you are using a "Days" or "Weeks" option, then you need to specify a threshold of hours. Note that the most compliant option would be to display annual leave in weeks, despite the confusion this may cause if an employee only uses a certain number of hours or days within a period.

If your employee requires a different setup, make the required changes, and then select "Save".


Note: We strongly recommend discussing your employee leave settings with our Support Team prior to making any changes, especially if you are unsure of any aspect of the Holidays Act 2003 or Holidays Amendment Act 2010.
