Record additional or reduced holiday for a user and understand how bought or sold leave affects entitlement.

If a user buys or sells holiday, you must add this manually. The system doesn’t calculate bought or sold leave automatically, and it isn’t included in any upload files.

📌 Note: You need HR Admin permissions to update user allowances.


Add bought or sold holiday

  1. Click My Admin, then click View another user.

  2. Select the user, then click Allowances.

  3. Enter a value in Holiday Bought/Sold:

    • Enter a positive value for bought holiday.

    • Enter a negative value for sold holiday.

  4. Click Submit changes.


Understand how values are entered

  • Enter values in hours and minutes for hourly users.

  • Use your company’s agreed method to calculate the amount.

  • Many organisations use a prorated or average calculation.


Understand system behaviour

  • Bought or sold holiday is always entered manually.

  • Nightly upload files don’t update this value.

  • You must maintain this separately in the system.


Check how this affects allowance

  • Sold holiday may reduce available entitlement.

  • In some cases, it adjusts prior year rollover values.

  • The final balance appears in Remaining Holiday Calculations.

📌 Note: The wording may vary depending on whether the user has rollover from a previous year.
