Denmark: Amounts available for 16 months [Internal]

Written by Amanda Larsen

Amount available for 16 months - relevant only for Denmark

According to the Danish Holiday Act, vacation days accrued in the period September 1st - August 31st can be used until December 31st of the same calendar year where accrual period ends. For example, for the period September 1st, 2020 - August 31st, 2021, the accrued days should be available until December 31st, 2021.

In the vacation planner is now possible to visualise and request vacation days until December 31st with no need to wait until the end of the holiday period for a transfer.

Note that in order to visualise these amounts you need to set an expiring date to December 31st for the transfer in the vacation type. It's already done for all Danish clients using monthly accrual with amount 25. If you have a different set up you should add the expiring date manually.

When the holiday period is over the transfer should be done actively. Doing actively the transfer is very important in terms of performance.

Example

In the case illustrated in the screenshot, on August 31, 2021 the user has a remaining amount of 4 days. Those remaining days are available to be used until December 31st, 2021 and to visualise them you should got to the next holiday period starting on September 1, 2021.



In the next holiday period starting on September 1st, 2021 the remaining days from August 31st are displayed under Transfer and they expire on December 31st. When you look at the next holiday period the only possible view is Full vacation year and for this reason in the Balance column you can already see that the amount has expired since Full vacation year looks at August 31, 2022


If you hover the mouse over the weeks you can see the breakdown of the amounts week by week including the amount made available for 16 months under "Transfer".


If you hover the mouse over the 1st week of January you can see that the amount transferred has expired and it is not calculated in the Available.


If some vacation days are used in the period September 1st, 2021 - December, 31st 2021 the system first uses the days that are transferred from the previous period. When you hover the mouse over the 1st week of January you can see that the amount expired is not the full transfer amount but it is Transfer (4 days) - spent (3 days) = Expired (1 day)
