1. Added extra block Reduced leave hours to the Leave balance screen
Why
Employees who take unpaid leave do not usually accrue leave entitlements during their unpaid leave. This means that taking unpaid leave, such as unpaid parental leave or a sabbatical, reduces the basic entitlement to Statutory and Extra-statutory Leave.
In HR Core Business, you can configure unpaid leave in such a way that when it is requested, the basic entitlement to specific other leave types is reduced automatically. To visualize these deducted hours, we have added the Reduced leave hours block to the Leave banlance employee screen.
How
Employee > Leave > Leave balance
When accessing the Leave balance screen for an employee who has requested unpaid leave, and the leave scheme states that such unpaid leave means a reduction of leave entitlements for one or more other leave types, the Reduced leave hours block shows the following:
- For which leave types the basic entitlement has been reduced
- How many unpaid leave hours the employee has taken
Please note: The information in the Reduced leave hours block is not forwarded to Management Information. We only forward the calculated final balance to Management Information.
The Reduced leave hours block contains the following data.
|
Leave type
|
Leave type that is reduced.
|
|
Basic entitlement
|
The original basic entitlement for the leave type prior to the deduction.
|
|

|

If an employee has already taken unpaid leave and the Reduced leave hours block is blank on opening the screen, click the Recalculate button once.
2. Set up new feature for leave reduction
Why
Since August 2022, the law states that employees can take parental leave in the form of part paid and part unpaid leave. To support this correctly, we have ensured that when unpaid leave is taken, the basic right for specific leave types is reduced automatically, if configured correctly.
How
Settings > Leave > Leave scheme
In a leave scheme, you can configure leave in such a way that when unpaid leave types (source) are taken, the basic entitlement to associated regular leave types (target) is reduced automatically when an employee applies for unpaid leave.
Source and target: the unpaid leave type, such as unpaid parental leave, a sabbatical or unpaid long-term leave, that reduces the basic entitlement is called the source leave. The associated leave type for which the basic entitlement is reduced, is the target leave.
Example
- You want a specific unpaid leave type to be the source that causes the basic entitlement to Statutory and Extra-statutory Leave to be reduced.
Source: unpaid leave type
Target: reduce leave type basic entitlement to Statutory and Extra-statutory Leave
Target: reduce leave type basic entitlement to Statutory and Extra-statutory Leave
You do this as follows:
- Go to the Leave Scheme and activate the option Consequences for accrual leave on the Basic rights tab under the unpaid leave type (source).
When you click Save, you will see the Leave reduction tab.
This tab shows all of the leave types in the leave scheme that are not linked to parental leave because a value has been entered in Parental leave right based on child.
The unpaid leave type you are using as the source is also not shown on the Leave reduction tab.
- On the Leave reduction tab, tick every leave type (target) for which you want to reduce the basic entitlement in the Reduce column.
This automatically reduces the basic entitlement for this target leave type when the unpaid source leave type is taken.
Calculation method
example
- Employee’s contract hours per week 40 (work hours 40 as well)
- Total Statutory Leave per year (4 * 40) 160 hours
- Unpaid leave taken 296 hours
calculation
- Total hours per year: 40 * 52 = 2080
- Total taken deductible entitlement rate: 160 statutory leave / 2080 = 0.07692307692
- Actual unpaid leave taken: 296 * 0.07692307692 = 22.77 (rounded off)
- Deduct the deductible hours (22.77) from the basic leave entitlement (160 hours of statutory leave) to obtain the remaining leave (137.23 hours)
In this formula: Annual leave entitlement / Total hours per year * unpaid leave hours taken
In this example: 160 - * (160 / 2080) * 296) = 160 - 22.77 = 137.23
Action
If taking an unpaid leave type should result in reduced basic entitlement to a specific target leave type, set this up for each leave type as described above.
New reports
3. Report HR configuration overview
From this release onwards, the new report HR configuration overview is available. It contains information on how leave schemes are set up in HR Core Business. The overview is always an Excel file that is generated for each customer. So you will see the set-up at the corporate level for all companies that are part of a customer.
How
Reports > Settings > HR configuration overview
The HR configuration overview screen allows you to request the following reports. All reports are ticked by default when you open the screen.
- Active leave year
- Special leave
- Reduce leave entitlement
- Leave link payroll
- Leave scheme
- Work pattern
The Excel file contains a tab showing the set-up for each overview. The names and order of the overviews on the screen may differ from those in the Excel file. The report does not contain a list of the registration per employee.
More information can be found from release 2023-01 in the online help, topic Overzicht HR inrichting, and in the chapter Rapport - Overzicht HR inrichting of the Handleiding ouderschapsverlof (Parental Leave Manual) which you can download from the community.
Action
Request this report if you want to know how leave is set up in HR Core Business, including intervals from the past.
4. Report Overview leave entitlement
From this release onwards, the new report Overview leave entitlement is available. This report shows leave composition per employee for all companies that are part of a customer. Among other things, you can see for each employee by which company their salary is paid, their basic entitlement, leave taken, and remaining leave.
How
Reports > Personnel management > Overview leave entitlement
- Open the Overview leave entitlement screen.
- Enter the required Reference date and click Create report.
- View the report in My reports.
Select a Reference date in the Overview leave entitlement screen. Depending on the leave scheme set up, the system checks the leave year in which the reference date falls when generating the report. If you enter the reference date 15-7-xxxx, for instance, and the leave year runs from 1 January xxxx through 31 December xxxx, you will see the leave balance for all employees for the year xxxx. If it is a broken leave year that runs from 1 July xxxx (previous year) through 30 June xxxx (current year), the leave year is shown from 1 July.
More information can be found from release 2023-01 in the online help, topic Verlofsaldo.
Action
Keep in mind that we pass on the calculated final balance to Management Information (MI). This report shows how the calculated leave balance is established.
