Rolling Time Period vs. Calendar Year for Self-Certified Sick Days

• If you are sick on June 1st and 2nd, 2023, you will get these days renewed on June 1st and 2nd, 2024 (if you have chosen the rolling 12-month period)
• With a fixed time period, you will receive 12 new days based on the set start date of the calendar year.

Why can´t I transfer absence days for my employees? 

If you want to transfer absence days, the employee must be enrolled in a policy that permits the transfer of days and has a defined limit on the number of vacation days available (for example, 25 days). Additionally, the employee must have participated in the policy for its entire duration.
