Employees
Upload existing employees from a spreadsheet or FPS, from your existing payroll. You then upload any new employees on an ongoing basis in the same way. End dates are bulk uploaded at the same time. Because we read each payroll supplier’s software file format, there are no files to edit and the whole process takes minutes!
Scheme setup
We support an unlimited number of holiday schemes, and the system comes with 3 standard schemes ready to go:
- Zero-hour workers (no fixed hours)
- Variable (commission, overtime etc.)
- Salaried (fixed hours)
Each scheme can be tailored to meet any specific requirements (carry over, buy, sell and many more settings). For example, you could allow workers to book 2 more days than their entitlement or leave at zero.
All you need to do is assign each worker to a scheme and adjust any holiday entitlements (we generally set 28 days). If you need salary pro-rata, just enter the employee’s annual salary. If you have a few, do this manually; for a large number, upload by spreadsheet.
You only need to set up schemes, entitlements and salaries once.
Pay
Simply upload each week’s pay from a spreadsheet in seconds. Use full pay for zero-hour scheme workers and just variable pay for variable scheme employees.
If you are running a 2-weekly, 4-weekly or monthly payroll, then you can upload once per pay run or upload every week. If you make a mistake, simply re-upload a revised spreadsheet with no limit to the number of times you can upload pay information.
Once pay is uploaded, you can check that everything looks correct. Here is an example spreadsheet, but we can load any format you are using. Takes seconds.

Holiday Bookings
You enter ongoing holiday bookings one of 2 ways:
- Employees book holidays by self-service on the app and managers approve the holidays (recommended for zero-touch by the payroll team)
- Upload holidays from a spreadsheet – we support any column names and data in any format from a file containing:
Works id | ID of the worker |
Worker name | Name of the worker – Only used for errors (optional) |
Start date | Start day of holiday |
End date | End day of holiday |
Start half-day late | Start in the afternoon (optional) |
End half-day early | End in the morning (optional) |
Days | We calculate (optional) |
Comment | Submitter comment (optional) |
Remark | Approver remark (optional) |
Deleted | Only to delete a previously uploaded holiday (optional) |
Holiday pay calculations
Automated holiday pay values are continuously calculated and available immediately for entry into your existing payroll from Excel. Copy/ paste if you have a few or download a file if you have a large number. Salary starter or leaver holiday pay and salary pro-rata are also available for salary schemes.
The system calculates daily holiday pay and also provides the weekly average so, for example, you could include this as a payslip message:

If you make any errors at any point, these can be corrected. You can repeat any of the above steps as often as you need. For example, you can delete booked holidays, enter new holidays manually, change schemes or entitlement, and even re-upload holiday history if required.
Reports
Holiday pay XLSX reports (data table and accrual) are available at any point to show the data and calculations, so you can be assured you have a complete audit trail.
