Change the way holiday is shown for employees with accrual rules

As an example....

We have set up a rule for an employee – they accrue 2.09 holiday per month added at the end of the month. Their holiday year starts July 1st 2024. After 2 months – they have accrued 4.19 days. They have booked their holidays ahead – 2 weeks in January next year which is 10 days.


Their holiday shows like this:


  • Holiday Entitlement = 4.17

  • Holidays Taken = 10

  • Remaining Holidays = -5.83

To the employee this is not useful, how do they know their full entitlement for the year? It shows minus days which isn’t correct as those days booked are in the future and shouldn’t be deducted off the current accrual.

What would be useful is –

  • Annual entitlement = 25

  • Days Accrued to date = 4.17

  • Holidays Taken = 0

  • Holidays Booked = 10

  • Remaining days = 15
