We’re excited to announce a new feature in absentify that offers you greater flexibility in managing vacation days! πŸŽ‰

Β 

You can now set how long unused vacation days from the previous year can be carried over into the new year. In Settings > Allowance, you can choose a deadline of 1, 3, 6, 10 months, or more after the end of your fiscal year. For example, if your fiscal year ends on December 31 and you set a 3-month carry-forward period, employees can use their leftover days from the previous year until March 31.

Β 

Additionally, you can specify a maximum number of days that can be carried over beyond this deadline. For instance, if March 31 is the cut-off date and 5 days are allowed to carry forward, any extra days will expire, and only these 5 will remain available in the new fiscal year.

Β 

Important: This setting is applied retroactively, which means past balances will be recalculated. We recommend taking an Excel export or a screenshot of current balances before making changes. If adjustments are needed, you can manually update individual balances under Settings / Users / edit User / Allowance > Carry Over. As before, it’s still possible to manually override carryover amounts for specific users at any time.

Β 

We hope this new feature simplifies vacation management and gives you more options to tailor absentify to your team’s needs. Enjoy exploring the new possibilities!
