Configure Employees

Set up the starting balance and employment level for each employee.

1. Open employee

Go to Team → Employees and select the corresponding employee.

2. Enter starting balance

Enter the starting balance for the current year:

  • Vacation – The vacation entitlement for the year, in hours (25 days with a 42-hour week = 210 hours)
  • Overtime/Undertime – How many hours of plus or minus hours does the employee have?

Calculate and set the vacation entitlement

💡 Important

These values are used to calculate the current balance. Make sure you enter the correct values.

3. Define employment (optional)

Enter the employment percentage (e.g., 80%). If no employment level is defined, Samay automatically calculates with 100%.

You can record several employment entries per employee, each with its own period – for staggered percentages and for a mid-year start (record the period before it with 0 %).

Done! 🎉

The employee is now fully configured and Samay can calculate the balances correctly.
