There are two ways to define holidays to employees: manually and based on seniority scheme.
1. Holidays manual definition
Select the dates for the different periods (previous, current and next year). These periods are by default set from 1 January until 31 December, but can also overlap.
For example you can set the period 1 January 2015 - 1 March 2016, if you want the holiday entitlement to be available for a longer period, or you can set a carry over (CO+).
Fill in the following fields for each period:
Given: Enter the number of days and hours of the holiday that can be taken during the corresponding period (this reflect the holiday counter definition - in days, hours or hours and days).
CO+: Enter the remaining days and hours of the holiday that can be carried over to the next period (this also reflects the holiday counter definition - positive or negative).
CO-: Enter the number of days and hours of the holiday that can be carried over to the next period as a negative balance (this also reflects the holiday counter definition - positive or negative).
If some fields are unavailable, check the holiday counters definition.

You can also automate the calculation of the number of days and hours of holiday an employee is entitled to. This calculation is based on the employee seniority.
To add a defined seniority scheme in employee definition, go to Configuration - Employees - New/Edit - Tab Holiday. Add a holiday counter. At section Seniority select the date the employees seniority begins and select a seniority scheme defined.
