Create a non-labour based policy

How to create a time off policy in Sage HR for employees who get a designated number of days off in a calendar period.

Written by Oliver Cook

When you create a time-off policy and want employees to receive a set number of hours or days at the start of a period, you need to create a non‑labour‑based policy.

To set this type of policy, select allocate time off per year and accrue then your relevant period. For example, annually.

Time off policy set to allocation 20 days per year and accrue annually.

Next, choose what Sage HR should use to determine the working days and daily working hours for this policy.
