Proration

Policies with an upfront balance will be prorated for employees if they start mid-year. The calculation is based on the number of days the employee will work in the remaining calendar year. 

Example: 

An employee gets an upfront balance of 20 days a year, and they start on June 17th. This means the employee would have worked 197 days of the year, or 53.97% of the year. 
20 days (starting balance) * .5397 (percentage of year worked) = 10.79 which rounds up to 10.8 days. 

Apply a policy to a subset of employees 

CQL filters are dynamic, so as an employee's information changes, they may move into a different policy. 

Examples: 

  • US Sick Time Policy applies to all employees whose home country is the United States: address.country:"us"Those employees will see the sick time policy on their profile tab once active.
  • Employee moves to the UK- once the change is processed and their home address country is now “GB” the following happens: 
    • If there is a policy for GB that the employee fits in - the employees balance will now display in the corresponding policy 
    • If the new policy has an upfront balance, the employees balance will reflect the following: The set starting balance - days taken this calendar year.

Adding Holidays

You can specify holidays that are exempt from a policy. These days will be skipped over when detracting days taken from a balance. 

Weekend days are automatically exempt from balances.

Making a policy active

A policy defaults to inactive. When you are ready for employees to be able to request against their balance, you can make the policy active. 

If a policy is active and is made inactive, the history of the requests made and taken will stay in the employees profile tab. Their balance will no longer display on their profile tab, and they will no longer be able to request against that policy.

Adjusting Balances

Balances on the employees profile tab reflect days that have been requested and approved. Days that are in a pending request are not deducted from the balance. 

If you transition to ChartHop for time off mid year, you can manually adjust employee balances to ensure they are requesting against the current value. 

To adjust a balance, you can change the value in the “modified” column next to the employee's name in the “Balances” tab. Once a balance is edited, the cell will turn blue to indicate the value has been changed. 

When a balance is changed, any request that has been taken before the adjustment date for the calendar year are no longer deducted from the balance. Only future requests and time off scheduled after the balance adjustment date will be deducted.
