Add a Holiday leave type for Belgium

The legal holiday in Belgium counts as leave for all 'bedienden' and 'arbeiders' working in Belgium. The legal holiday entitlement is accrued on the basis of the time worked in the preceding year. The employee takes the leave hours in the current year. You can configure this in the leave type.

Set the senior citizen holiday as additional leave.

To add a leave type:

Go to: HR / Organisation / CLA.
Open the CLA properties.
Go to the tab: Term of employment.
Open the properties of the term of employment.
Go to the tab: Leave.
Click on: New.
Enter the start date.
Select the leave type.
Select the basic leave type.
The basic leave type is linked to the employments.

Example:

You have selected the Holiday check box in the Full-timer employment.

Then you add a leave type with the value Leave. This leave type will be used for all employees with a full-time employment type.
Enter the basic periodical entitlement in hours.
You specify the basic leave type for the duration of a leave period. This may be a year, or perhaps a quarter or a month.

You see the basic leave type in days for your information; you cannot change it.
Click on: Next.
Select the Update leave entitlement balance check box, unless you do not want to track the leave balance.
Select Leave (accrual) for staff on basis of previous year for Method.
Determine whether a negative leave balance is allowed:
- Allow
  Profit does not check for a negative leave balance.
- Limited based on balance in leave period (valid on start date)
  The balance for the current leave period must be sufficient in order for the employee to take leave. A check is made on the balance of the leave period that applies on the start date of the leave request. The employee must accrue sufficient leave entitlement in the current leave period (the entire leave period counts) before the employee can take any leave.
- Limited based on balance previous leave period (valid on start date)
  A check is made to see if the balance for the employee is sufficient to take leave in the current leave period. The check takes account of the balance from the previous leave period minus the leave entries already present in the current leave period. With this, a check is made on the balance of the leave period prior to the leave period that is applicable on the start date of the leave request. You select this option if employees first need to accrue leave entitlement in a complete leave period before the employee can take any leave.
  
  You should select this option if you use shorter leave periods (for example, a month).
- Limited based on accrued balance in actual costing
  A check is made to see if the pro-rated leave balance on the start date is sufficient for the employee to take leave in the current leave period.
  
  The pro-rata balance is calculated based on the balance from the previous leave period minus the leave entries already present in the current leave period plus the entitlement accrued based on actual costing in the leave period belonging to the start date of the leave entry.
  
  Thus the difference with Limited based on balance in leave period (valid on start date) is that no account is taken here of the balance for the entire leave period belonging to the start date of the leave entry. Here a check is made on the accrued balance based on actual costing.
  
  You should select this option if you are in retail. You link this to leave accrual based on actual costing.
