Vacation management

By Reports, Sick vacation

Here you will find a summary of the different options available for managing your company’s vacation time.

The first option is to determine how you want to manage your vacation. In other words, when your employees go on vacation, do you want them to enter the hours into a project or as a service? Do you see this position as a project or a service? There is no wrong answer to this choice, these are two valid classification modes.

You must first access the organization preferences by clicking on “Organization” in the left sidebar.

Once in the organization’s file, under the “Info” tab you will have a small drop-down menu offering you the possibility to choose between project or service. Select the one you want and click “Save”.vacation

Well, that’s it! You can change your choice at any time by returning to this menu. However, don’t forget to create “Holiday” projects or services in the appropriate configuration menu, otherwise your efforts will be for nothing.

Configure vacation percentages

To be able to calculate the vacation, Collabox needs you to tell it the amount of vacation to which the employee is entitled. In Quebec, the Commission des normes, de l’énergie, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail has established very specific rules regarding vacations based on the number of years worked by the employee. You can refer to their guide by clicking here. Once you have the right percentage, navigate to your employee’s file by clicking on “Configuration” in the top navigation bar.

Then click on “Employees” in the left bar.

Choose the employee to edit. Once in its file, click on the “Rate” tab.

Finally, add the percentage and the effective date. If the employee already had accumulated vacation before the chosen date, you can also add them.
