  2. Click at the top left of the screen.
  3. Click ‘Absence > Manage Annual Leave Method’ from the menu.
  4. Click the 'General Standard' tab.
  5. Set the general annual leave standards, and click ‘Save’.
    • Enter the annual leave group name.
    • Annual Leave Accrual Standard: Select the standard for annual leave accrual (fiscal year, employment date).
      • Fiscal Year: The annual leaves are granted to the employees uniformly based on January 1 of every year, which is the start of the fiscal year.
      • Employment Date: The annual leave for the year is granted on the employment date of every year.
    • Annual Leave Days by Years of Service: Set the annual leave days by years of service. You can enter up to three decimal places.
      • Annual Leave Accrual Standard Less Than a Year: Set the annual leave accrual standard for employees with less than a year of service.
        • Not accrue: No annual leaves are provided for employees with less than a year of service.
        • Every Full Month of Service: 1 day of annual leave is given for every full month of service for midway recruits.
        • If Hired and Postulated to Work Full Days: Assumes the full service for the year, and grants the annual leave for the remaining period for the year collectively at the time of joining.
      • Point of Annual Leave Accrual in Proportion to Days of Service (Displayed if Annual Leave Standard is Fiscal Year): It is the accrual time for the annual leave provided in the beginning of the year after employment according to the ratio of service days from the previous year.
        • January 1: It is provided on January 1 of the year after employment according to the ratio of service days from the previous year.
        • 1 Year After Employment: It is provided one year after employment according to the ratio of service days from the previous year.

        • Based on the fiscal year, the annual leave of the second year employee is calculated by ‘annual leave accrual in proportion to days of service for the previous year + annual leave for less than a year to be accrued this year’. If decimals are created for the annual leave accrual in proportion to days of service for the previous year, you can select from round off, round up, and round down to handle it. (E.g., If you select round off to one decimal place, it is created as an integer by checking the tenths digit. If you select round off to two decimal places, it is applied to one decimal place by checking the hundredth digit.)
          • Annual leave accrual in proportion to days of service for the previous year for second year employees are calculated from ‘number of days of service/365 * 15.’
          • The time of accrual for annual leave in proportion to days of service can be delayed under agreement with employees. Attendance service provides an option to accrue this at a point when it has elapsed a full year. The annual leaves accrued at that point can be used until the end of the next year, regardless of the annual leave carryover settings.
            Make sure to check if it suits your work conditions before changing the accrual time.

        Full Service in Every Full Month of Service:

        • The full service in Every Full Month of Service of the Annual Leave Accrual Standard Less Than a Year considers the inclusion status of unpaid leaves It assumes it is a full service and calculates it if there is no unpaid leaves.
        • For a company that uses Appointment, if a leave appointment is processed to an item with its Include Clock-in Days in Annual Leave Calculation set to ‘No’ under Leave Classification Settings, it is processed as unpaid leave.
        • Under the method of providing annual leaves for less than a year upon each month of full service, the annual leave for the month is not provided if the previous month includes even one day of unpaid leave.
    • When it's one year or more:
      • The accrued annual leave according to the years of service is displayed.
      • The number of annual leave days by years of service can be edited according to the company regulations. In such case, the accrued annual leave according to the years of service is automatically adjusted.
      • According to the Labor Standards Act, after 2 full years of service, 1 annual leave for third and fourth year, and 2 annual leaves for fifth and sixth year are additionally accrued.
      • When the annual leave accrues based on the fiscal year (January 1 - December 31), it is easier to calculate annual leaves. However, the remaining days can differ when settling the annual leave for retirement.

    • Expire one year after employment: The annual leaves for less than a year expires one year after employment.
    • Carry over until the end of the following year of employment: Carries over the annual leaves for less than a year until the end of the year after employment.
  8. Beginning of Next Year’s Annual Leave Requests: Set the point of accrual for the next year, to enable request for next year's annual leaves in advance.

    • Initial date of annual leave: This is the date when the next year's annual leave is accrued. You can request the next year's annual leave starting on this date.
    • This is 1/2/3 month(s) before the date that the next year's annual leave is accrued. You can request the next year's annual leave starting on this date. For instance, if it's set as 1 month before the initial date for annual leave, you can start requesting the next year's annual leave from 1 month before (e.g.,: December 1 of this year) the start of next year (e.g., January 1).
    • For companies with an employment date basis, the batch operation is performed at the beginning of every day based on the employment date of each employee. Annual leaves are automatically accrued according to the point of annual leave accrual settings.
    • End of Previous Year’s Annual Leave Requests: Specify the extent to which you can request the previous year's annual leave. This feature sets the closing date for the annual leave request when annual leaves are used first, and requested later.

Manage Annual Leave Promotion Target

The Manage Annual Leave Promotion Targets menu is displayed when the company applies the annual leave promotion policy. When the company uses the annual leave promotion, set Apply Promotion Policy for Usage of Annual Leave to ’Use’ in ‘Attendance Service > Settings’.

The promotion policy for use of annual leave refers to a policy that releases the employer of the financial compensation responsibility for unused annual leaves when the employee has not used annual leaves, even if the employer promoted the use of the employee's annual leaves, according to Article 61 of the Labor Standard Act.

Annual leave promotion can be applied to both employees with less than a year of service and employees with a year or more of service.

Annual Leave Promotion for Employees With Less Than a Year of Service

Promote unused annual leaves of accrued annual leaves within a year of employment from the date of employment to the promotion date for the employees with less than a year of service.

For employees with less than a year of service, one annual leave is accrued when working a month without absence and 11 leaves are accrued until one year after employment. Promote the unused annual leaves for employees with less than a year of service by dividing into two times, pre (9 days) and post (2 days).

Annual leaves subject to promotion for employees with less than a year of service

  • For annual leaves subject to promotion for employees with less than a year of service, only the accrued leaves for less than a year are included and annual leaves by year or adjusted annual leaves are not included.

Pre-promotion

The following describes how to promote 9 pre-annual leaves granted to employees with less than a year of service. The pre-promotion is performed through notification urge (primary) and specified notification (secondary).

If unused pre-annual leaves (9 days) remain at the time of 3 months before one year after employment, the employee is the target of primary urge notification. The company shall send a promotion instruction email to the target within a specified period (10 days).

  • The promotion is completed if the employee submits the annual leave usage plan within the primary urge notification period (10 days). For remaining annual leaves by the annual leave end date, the company has no obligation for the compensation.
  • See View and Promote Annual Leave Promotion Target and ‘Urge Notification For Employees With Less Than a Year of Service’.

The employees who have not submitted the annual leave usage plan within the period are the target of secondary specified notification. The company sends the instruction email on expirations within the annual leave expiration date to target employees.

  • If the company sends the specified notification email within the specified period, then the urge is completed.
  • See ‘Specified Notification For Employees With Less Than a Year of Service’.
The number of annual leaves granted to an employee registered after the date of employment may be less than 9 days and in this case, promotion is performed based on the total number of accrued annual leaves.

Post-promotion

The following describes how to promote 2 annual leaves granted to employees with less than a year of service after pre-promotion. The post-promotion is performed through notification urge (primary) and specified notification (secondary).

If unused pre-annual leaves (2 days) remain at the time of one month before one year after employment, the employee is the target of primary urge notification. The company shall send a promotion instruction email to the target within a specified period (5 days).

Because the application to use annual leave may be canceled or changed after the pre-promotion, in the post-promotion, annual leaves for less than a year other than 2 annual leaves can be promoted.
  • The promotion is completed if the employee submits the annual leave usage plan within the primary urge notification period (10 days). For remaining annual leaves by the annual leave end date, the company has no obligation for the compensation.
  • See View and Promote Annual Leave Promotion Target and ‘Urge Notification For Employees With Less Than a Year of Service’.

The employees who have not submitted the annual leave usage plan within the period are the target of secondary specified notification. The company sends the instruction email on expirations within the annual leave expiration date to target employees.

  • If the company sends the specified notification email within the specified period, then the urge is completed.
  • See ‘Specified Notification For Employees With Less Than a Year of Service’.
The number of annual leaves granted to an employee registered after the date of employment may be less than 11 days and in this case, promotion is performed based on the total number of accrued annual leaves.

Annual Leave Promotion for Employees With a Year or More of Service

The promotion for use of annual leave for employees with a year or more of service is performed through notification urge (primary) and specified notification (secondary).

The employees with remaining annual leaves 6 months before the annual leave end date are the target of the primary notification urge.

The company searches for the annual leave promotion targets and sends the instruction email for submission of annual leave usage plan. The promotion is completed if the employee submits the annual leave usage plan within the primary urge notification period (10 days). For remaining annual leaves by the annual leave end date, the company has no obligation for the compensation.

The employees who have not submitted the annual leave usage plan within the period are the target of secondary specified notification. The company sends the instruction email on expirations within the annual leave expiration date to target employees.
