Automated Carry Forward Leave
Automated Leave Carry Forward
Most companies carry forward annual leave to the following year (typically 8 days). Manual processing frustrates HR teams. BizCloud HRM automates this entire process, eliminating errors and saving time.
System Automatically:
- Carries forward remaining annual leave to the following year
- Mixes carried leave with new annual leave entitlements
- Burns unused carried leave at year-end (configurable)
Configure automatic leave carry forward rules in just a few clicks
Method 1: Set Maximum by Employee Type
Configuration Steps:
- Navigate to e-Leave > Leave Setting > Leave Type
- Under Carry Forward section:
- Select Yes for "Allow Carry Forward"
- Specify employee types and maximum days (e.g. 7 days for permanent staff)
Creating Carry Forward Leave Type:
- Create new Carry Forward Leave type
- Select Annual Leave as Parent Leave Type

This method maintains separate tracking of carried leave.
