In Netvisor, various accrual rules can be created for the accrual of holiday days and the determination of the holiday percentage. These rules can be created and managed from Payroll > Holiday calculation settings > Holiday accrual rules.

In holiday entitlement management under Payroll > Settings > Holiday calculation settings, you can review current employee-specific holiday settings and update them if necessary, for example, when the employment is over a year long.

Creating a new holiday days accrual rule

A new rule can be added using the "Add new rule" button. The following information is provided for the holiday accrual rule:

  • Settable for employees: Select Yes when the content of the rule is ready and you want to use it in the employee's holiday entitlement management.
  • Rule name: The rule can be named as desired.
  • Type: Select Holiday days accrual rule as the type.
  • Attached employees: At the creation stage, there are still 0 attached employees.
  • Employment months and Holiday days accrued per month: These determine the value used based on the duration of employment. In the example image below, it is desired to define that from the start of employment (0 months), holiday days accrue at 2 days/month. When the employment has lasted a year (12 months), the holiday accrual is desired to increase to 2.5 days/month. Additionally, a third tier is defined where after 5 years of employment (60 months), the holiday accrual increases to 3 days/month.

Holiday days accrual rule: day / month

The table defines the addition of holiday days accrued per month. The holiday month is interpreted through the accrual of holidays. The table interprets the duration of the employee's employment. Full holiday qualifying months always start from the beginning of employment. If the employee has worked for over a year, full holiday qualifying months always start from the beginning of the holiday qualifying year, i.e., April. 

In implementation, if payroll starts, for example, in January and the January holiday accrual must be retrieved from holiday month ten, monthly holiday accruals must first be calculated from the current holiday qualifying year. If this is not done, holiday accruals start from holiday month one.

Impact of employment condition on holiday days accrual

An employee can be selected for an employment condition (14 days or 35 hours rule), which determines when a month is interpreted as a full holiday qualifying month from which holiday days accrue according to the selected holiday accrual rule.

For the interpretation of the employment condition to work and holidays to accrue according to the selected accrual rule, the employee must have work time entries affecting holiday entitlement in the work time recording for the target month being processed. If the condition is not met, annual holiday days do not accrue.

Creating a new holiday percentage rule

A new rule can be added using the "Add new rule" button. The following information is provided for the holiday accrual rule:

  • Settable for employees: Select Yes when the content of the rule is ready.
  • Rule name: The rule can be named as desired.
  • Type: Select Holiday percentage rule as the type.
  • Attached employees: At the creation stage, there are still 0 attached employees.
  • Employment months and Holiday percentage: These determine the value used based on the duration of employment. In the example image below, it is desired to define that from the start of employment (0 months), the holiday percentage is 9%. When the employment has lasted a year (12 months), the holiday percentage is desired to increase to 11.5%. Additionally, a third tier is defined where after 3 years of employment (36 months), the holiday percentage increases to 13%.

Deactivating an accrual rule

Accrual rules cannot be completely removed, but the rules that are no longer desired to be used are changed to "Not settable for employees" status. From the holiday accrual rules view, by drilling down into the information of the specific rule, you can select the option "Settable for employee" to: "No" (see image below, point 1).

Rules that are not settable for employees are only displayed in the "Holiday accrual rules" view.

Only active rules are selectable for employees.

Access rights

Access to the holiday accrual rules view requires read or edit rights in Payroll's Function-specific rights under Time management > Holidays and absences. Additionally, the Payroll accountant role is required.
