If I manually add or subtract holiday days and the system also recalculates due to a contract change, will the counter reflect both?
Absolutely. From Employees >> [Employee name] >> Time off and Holidays >> Holiday counter (top-left of the panel), you can manually edit an employee’s holiday days, adding or subtracting as needed. That manual change is saved independently of the automatic recalculation.
If a contract change is made later, the system will automatically update the holidays according to the new contract information.
Both manual and automatic adjustments are reflected in the holiday counter, and you’ll also see a detailed breakdown showing how many days come from the contract change and how many were modified manually.
Practical example
A team member has a six-month contract, so they’re entitled to 11 days of holiday.
During the first few weeks, they’re assigned a key project for the company, which they complete quickly and with excellent results. As recognition, management decides to grant 2 additional days of holiday. As an admin, you can add these 2 days manually via Employee section >> Employee name >> Time off and Holidays >> Holiday counter >> pencil icon.
Later, the company extends the contract by another 6 months, completing a full year. Simply update the contract duration in Contracts and save. Sesame will recalculate automatically, adding 11 more days to the counter. The counter will also display a clear breakdown showing where each day comes from: contract, manual adjustments, or other changes.
