Unlimited vs Limited

You can either choose between unlimited time off or a limited amount. If you choose unlimited time off, then all you have to do is click the Save Changes button.

If you choose a limited amount, you can either select a fixed amount of time off per year or have time off earned on hours worked. With a fixed amount, you can enter the total hours allowed per year and when it is granted. It can either be granted in proportion to each pay period regardless of hours worked, all at once on January 1st of each year, or all at once on each start date anniversary. With an hourly amount, you can enter the rate of hours earned per hours worked.

Additionally, you have the option to have the time off carry over to a new calendar year. In this case, you can enter the maximum carryover hours to next calendar year and the maximum balance allowed during a calendar year. Lastly, you are able to enter a current balance if you would like to provide hours that can be used immediately. Once you have made your desired entries, you can click the Save Changes button.
