With Flexible leave you buy extra leave hours or sell hours you don't need. Usually these are non-statutory leave hours. Your employer decides which hours you can sell.
Buying leave hours
The cost is deducted from your holiday allowance or another budget in the app. Example: your gross hourly wage is €15 and you buy 8 hours. €120 is deducted from your reserved gross holiday allowance, and 8 hours are added to your non-statutory leave balance.
Selling leave hours
The hours are deducted from your leave balance and paid out as extra gross salary. Example: your gross hourly wage is €18 and you sell 4 hours. You receive €72 gross extra in next month's payroll.
Good to know
- You can't buy and sell in the same month. If you do one, the other is blocked until next month.
- There is an annual maximum for buying and for selling.
- Your employer can limit buying and selling to certain periods per month and/or per year. Outside those periods you see the options, but they are blocked.
- Rules and processing times differ per employer. You can find them in the app via Home > Budget > "How it works".
