Allowance adjustment (Time in Lieu)

1 min read By TimeOff Support

Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) lets employees who work extra hours receive additional leave instead of overtime pay.

In TimeOff.Management, you can track TOIL in two ways:

Manual adjustments

Best for occasional cases. Go to Employee Details → Allowance tab → Allowance adjustment.

Allowance adjustment section

Automatically add TOIL for regular overtime

Use a leave type designed for overtime (e.g., “Overtime”). When approved, the system automatically adds TOIL to the employee’s allowance.

  • Create a new leave type (e.g., “Overtime”).
  • Select “Gain from Allowance”.
  • Add a coefficient, which converts overtime into TOIL:
    • Coefficient 1: 1 day of TOIL per day of overtime.
    • Coefficient 1.5: 1.5 days of TOIL per day of overtime.

Example with coefficient 1:

Overtime leave type coefficient 1

Example with coefficient 1.5:

Overtime leave type coefficient 1.5

Once approved, bookings affect TOIL like this:

  • Overtime with coefficient 1 → adds 1 day.
  • Overtime with coefficient 1.5 → adds 1 day and 4 hours (assuming an 8‑hour day).

You can see the TOIL added in the Allowance Overview and use it for bookings as usual.
