Here you can read how to set up the starting balance for the overtime and leave balance

Updated over a week ago

Managing the overtime and leave registration is probably not the most fun part of your job. Fortunately, we have tried to make it as easy as possible. Below we will walk you through the different steps.


Set contract types

Should a zero-hour contract accrue leave or not and how much leave is accrued per hour worked? To know exactly for which team members we need to keep the balance in sync, it is important that you take a look at your contract settings for your:

  • Zero hour contracts

  • Hours contracts

Both are found by navigating to the menu in the top right corner and then clicking 'Venue settings'. Then scroll down to the part about 'Contracts'.


Balance start date

Of course it's possible that you start with Eitje in the middle of the year or period. Then there is no doubt that your team members have already taken and accrued leave and there are probably also team member with overtime.

To ensure that you can start with the correct data, it is important to select a start date for your balance. This ensures that balance is only built up or deducted from the date you entered.

Having trouble coming up with your start date? This is actually always the date on which you officially started registering the hours in eitje.


Enter your team members' starting balance

To ensure your team member will start with their current data instead of 0, you can easily set the values for your team member with our start balance tool.

You do this by navigating to Hours > Hours balance and clicking Start balance in the top right corner.


Last check

Do you have:

  • Set all contract settings?

  • Set your balance start date?

  • Filled in the starting balance of your team members?

Congratulations! eitje will now automatically keep track of the balance for everyone.
