Statutory vacation and non statutory vacation
In some countries, holiday entitlement is split into standard and extra. But it is all in one balance, so you will get X amount of hours every year according to your agreement template setting, agreement length and employment rate, where one part is statutory (legal) and one part is non statutory (extra).
The statutory hours (legal) can be used for another 6 months after the year they in which they were given.
Statutory hours given in 2019 can be used latest last of June 2020 (expires July 1st 2020)
The non statutory hours (extra) can be used for another 5 years from the year in which they were given.
Non statutory hours given in 2019 can be used latest last of December 2024 (expires Jan 1 2025)
Example 1 : Part year full time
| Employee startdate=Agreement startdate | 2020-10-01 |
| Employee enddate = Agreement enddate | 2020-12-31 |
| Total hours given for full time employee as defined on agreement template | 182.4 |
| Agreement active days in year (2020) | 92 |
| Number of days in year (2020) | 366 |
| Full time hours per week | 38 |
| Emplyment rate | 100% |
| Statutory hours | 38.21 |
| Non statutory hours | 7.64 |
| Total sum of hours | 45.85 |
Example 2 : Part year part time
| Employee startdate=Agreement startdate | 2021-03-01 |
| Employee enddate = Agreement enddate | 2021-12-31 |
| Total hours given for full time employee as defined on agreement template | 182.4 |
| Agreement active days in year (2021) | 306 |
| Number of days in year (2021) | 365 |
| Full time hours per week | 38 |
| Emplyment rate | 60% |
| Statutory hours | 76.46 |
| Non statutory hours | 15.29 |
| Total sum of hours | 91.75 |
Dutch vacation - First to expire
First to expire in this case means that when vacation is deducted from the Time Tracker by using a Time Tracker association on the agreement template the hours will be deducted from the balance that is first to expire.
Statutory hours given in 2020 can be used latest last of June 2021 (expires July 1st 2021)
Non statutory hours given in 2015 can be used latest last of December 2020 (expires Jan 1 2021)
Example
- Employee has 20 statutory hours from 2020 and has 20 Non Statutory hours from 2015.
- Employee has approved vacation for 3 days (24 hours in October 2020)
- The first 20 hours will in this case be deducted from the Non statutory hours from 2015 since they will expire on Jan 1 2021
- The last 4 hours will be deducted from the statutory hours from 2020 since they will expire July 1st 2021
Configure "Dutch vacation"
Create a periodized Time Tracker
- Standard deduction order = First to Expire (Dutch)
- This to deduction from the TT yearly balances that are to expire first.
- Balance as of = Actual day (for both current and previous year).
- This must be present in order to show the employee what the current actual balance is in regards to vacation days both statutory/non statutory separately. Also, due to the specific carry over logic, we only support the value as of actual day.

Create 4 Time Tracker associations in an agreement template
This setup is done from Account settings > Templates > Chosen template > Time Trackers.
Add X amount of vacation hours every year
This will add the number of hours that the employee connected to this agreement template should be given each year on the first of January.
- Apply to specific period
- 0 (They are added to the current year).
- Accrual driver
- Each year after specified date of agreement start year (that it is applied each year).
- Date
- January 1 (The day when the yearly value is to be added).
- Time Tracker balance operator
- Add to Time Tracker balance.
- Factor level regulator
- Accumulated value of chosen accrual driver.
- Accrual factor
- X hours (in this example 200).
- Accrual factor by employment rate
- Multiply accrual factor by employment rate will allow for automatic multiplying of the defined hours and the employment rate.
- Check Multiply accrual factor by value provided by accrual driver.

Reset previous year's statutory hours on July 1st and carry over the non-statutory
This will allow the non statutory hours given the previous year to be carried over to be saved 5 years and also to remove unused statutory hours from the previous year.
- Apply to specific period
- -1 (for previous year)
- Accrual driver
- Each year after specified date of agreement start year
- Date
- July 1 (first day that they cannot be used anymore)
- Time Tracker balance operator
- Set to custom balance value
- Define method
- Non-Statutory hours (Dutch) will allow the only the Non-Statutory hours to be carried over into a separate balance
- Factor level regulator
- Accumulated value of chosen accrual driver
- Accrual factor
- 0
- Multiply carry-over by employment rate
- Checked

Reset 5 year old non statutory vacation hours
Remove remaining unused extra legal hours after 5 years.
Example: Non statutory hours given in 2019 can be used latest last of December 2024 (expires Jan 1 2025)
- Apply to specific period
- -6
- Accrual driver
- Each year after specified date of agreement start year.
- Date
- January 1 (first day that they cannot be used anymore).
- Set to custom balance value
- Carry over up to value = 0
- Factor level regulator
- Accumulated value of chosen accrual driver.

Reduce by vacation hours
Set up an accrual driver for deducting vacation hours from the balance that is first to expire.
- Apply to specific period
- Must be unchecked so that the expire first logic is used for deductions of used vacations.
- Accrual driver
- Each vacation leave hours.
- Start date
- A date from when vacation hours in Quinyx WFM will be deducted.
- Date
- January 1 (first day that they cannot be used anymore).
- Don´t accrue on selected day-counts
- Checked
- This to allow for deduction of vacations even if the vacation is on a bank holiday. If vacation should not be deducted on a bank holiday this setting can be unchecked. Yes this is currently illogical and we will try to update it to something better moving forward. /Quinyx
- Checked
- Add to Time Tracker balance
- Factor level regulator
- Accumulated value of chosen accrual driver.
- Accrual factor
- -1.0
- Multiply accrual factor by value provided by accrual driver.

Manage Non-statutory hours manually
In some cases individual employees have deviating personal agreements where there is a need to add a number of Non statutory hours each year or as a single sum one year.
When managing manual Time Tracker transactions to a Time Tracker that is set to "first to expire" they will by default be placed in the Non Statutory hours balance.
The Web Service API will function in the same way that it updates the Non statutory balance.
Visible outcome with the above configuration for "Dutch vacation"
The result will be visible in the:
- Mobile application under Salary information for the employee to always have the current balance visible in the mobile app (Android, iOS).
- Absence dialogue in Neo.
- Time Trackers in the Time card in Neo.
FAQ's
Q : What if I have employees starting during the year?
Old A : This can be done by either manually adding a Time Tracker transaction when the employee starts or by adding this transaction through our Web Service API. We're planning to develop automatic calculations of this during 2021.
New A: If the agreements connected to the agreement template where this is Time Tracker association is defined would be part of year. Then Quinyx will calculate the hours automatically based on the agreement period and employment rate on the agreement. This also applies if employment rate by date is updated on an individual agreements.
Q : What if I have employees changing employment rate during the year?
Old A : This can be done by either manually adding a Time Tracker transaction when the employee changes employment rate or by adding this transaction through our Web Service API. We are planning to develop automatic calculations of this during 2021.
New A : If employment rate by date is updated on an individual agreements connected to the agreement template where this is Time Tracker association is defined. Then Quinyx will calculate the hours automatically based on the agreement period and employment rates on the agreement.
Q : What if I need to manage statutory hours manually?
A : We currently do not support this in the Web app, it is only supported in the Web Service API wsdlUpdateTimeTrackers . But we are aiming for having this available in the GUI moving forward so keep an eye out in the release notes.
Q : What if I want the employees to accrue the hour per day the agreement has been active?
A : We don't support accruing of the vacation hours because of the specific logic where taken vacation needs to know what is to expire first. With our current implementation to support that deduction and carry over we can't support both options.
Q : What if I want the employees to have multiple overlapping agreements and first to expire option?
A : We don't support multiple overlapping agreements. This is because of the specific logic where taken vacation needs to know what is to expire first.
