About time off policies in Holded

Learn here how to manage time off policies in Holded

In Holded you can add and customize the time off policies of your company to manage vacations and days off for your employees.

You can create as many as you need, differentiating by types of absences (such as paternity leave or vacations) and customizing the characteristics of each one, deciding whether to deduct days or if, for example, a proof document is needed.

For an absence policy to be effective, you will have to assign it to your employees. By default, the system will assign the Basic absence policy, which you can edit from the Settings>Time off types section.

A time off policy is defined by:

• Name
  Assign a name to differentiate the absence policy between departments or work centers
• Description
  More details and information about a particular policy 
• Days allowance
  Define the maximum total number of days your employees can use, regardless of the type of absence
• Type
  Select between the option of Working Days or Calendar Days depending on the type of policy used in your company

  If you select the Calendar Days option and an employee requests an absence, holidays and weekends will be taken into account as vacation days. If you choose the Working Days option, they will not be taken into account.

• Unlimited days
  Select this option in case you do not want to configure a maximum of days allowed
• Accrued days
  Add the maximum number of days you want your employees to accumulate for next year
• Expire date
  Select the deadline when your employees can ask for unused vacation days
