Configuring Carryover - Manual v Automatic Carryover

Audience: System administrators with 'System Admin' role permissions.


Overview: 

Configure manual and automatic carry-over rules to transfer unused leave entitlements between years.


How Carry-Over and Expiry Works:

  • Automatic Carry-Over: Transfers unused days automatically on the user's calendar year start date (e.g., 1st January)
  • Manual Carry-Over: Allows approved manual transfers between entitlement types
  • Expiry: Controls when carried-over days lapse (either Never or on a Specific Date)


How to Set Up Carry-Over and Expiry:

  1. Navigate to Global > Entitlements 
  2. Click on Edit for the Entitlement Pot in question
  3. Click on Edit for the Entitlement Element in question 
  4. Scroll to Carry-over and expiry settings
  5. Under Allow manual carry-over to, select target entitlement(s)
  6. For automatic transfers, set Automatically carry over to to the desired entitlement
  7. Enter Maximum carry-over amount (days) if capping transfers
  8. Set expiry under Carry-over expires:
    • Select Never for no expiry
    • Or choose Specific Date and set day/month
  9. Click Save

Note: When configuring transfers between elements (e.g., "Annual Entitlement" to "Carry-over"), expiry rules must be set on the target element.
