Annual leave calculator: accrual, carry over and remaining leave on one screen
PTO accrual calculation: annual leave entitlement by seniority
Pulsar HRM calculates annual leave accrual based on the employee's length of service; the seniority tiers are read from the rules in the general or location leave policy. The next accrual date appears on the balance screen.
Annual leave tracker: carry over, accrued, used and leave balance
Leave balances list initial carryover, effective carryover, accrued, used and remaining days together with the next accrual date for each employee; each row shows where the balance comes from.
Leave history: every movement in one list
The employee's accrual, usage, movement and status records are shown in a single list; where the balance comes from can be traced row by row.
Leave carry over import from Excel
The carryover template is downloaded, and the completed file is uploaded and checked; faulty rows are listed in the error report and correct rows are applied. When migrating from another system, opening carryovers are entered this way.
Manual opening carry-over and carry-over correction
An initial carryover is created manually for a single employee; the effective carryover is corrected with a written explanation, and the correction stays on record.
How to calculate annual leave days and return date: rest days and holidays excluded
The leave form shows calendar days, weekly rest days, public holidays, days counted toward leave and the return-to-work date separately. Weekly rest days are taken from the employee's own work schedule; the return-to-work date is found by skipping weekly rest days and public holidays.
Advance leave and hourly administrative leave pool
If borrowing is enabled in the policy, Advance Leave (Avans İzni) appears in Available Leave (Kullanılabilir İzinler); its balance is the maximum borrowing days minus the employee's current debt. The hourly administrative leave pool is tracked against a monthly limit and renewed every month.
Annual leave entitlement: statutory minimum under Turkish law (İş Kanunu)
Article 53 of Turkish Labor Law No. 4857 (İş Kanunu) sets paid annual leave at no less than 14 days for service of one to five years (including five years), 20 days for more than five and less than fifteen years, and 26 days for fifteen years (inclusive) or more; for workers aged 18 or younger and 50 or older, it cannot be less than 20 days. In Pulsar HRM, the seniority tiers are defined in the leave policy.
Frequently asked questions
How to calculate annual leave entitlement?
Accrual is calculated based on the employee's length of service, from the seniority tiers in the leave policy. The balance screen shows carryover, accrued, used and remaining days together; the next accrual date is on the same row.
How many days of annual leave, and how does it change with years of service?
Under Article 53 of Turkish Labor Law No. 4857 (İş Kanunu), leave cannot be less than 14 days for a worker with one to five years of service, 20 days for more than five and less than fifteen years, and 26 days for fifteen years or more; for workers aged 18 and under or 50 and over, it cannot be less than 20 days. Pulsar HRM applies these tiers with the seniority rules in the leave policy.
What is an annual leave balance?
The annual leave balance is the leave remaining after used days are deducted from carryover and accrued days. In Pulsar HRM, initial carryover, effective carryover, accrued, used and remaining days appear in separate columns for each employee.
Do weekly rest days count as annual leave?
Under Article 56 of Turkish Labor Law No. 4857 (İş Kanunu), national holidays, weekly rest days and public holidays that fall within the paid annual leave period are not counted as leave. In the leave day calculation, Pulsar HRM takes weekly rest days from the employee's work schedule and deducts them, and deducts public holidays separately.
How to import leave carry over from Excel?
The carryover template is downloaded, filled in and uploaded; the system checks the file, shows faulty rows in the error report and applies the correct rows.
How is advance leave calculated?
If borrowing is enabled in the leave policy, Advance Leave (Avans İzni) appears among the available leave types; its balance is the maximum borrowing days minus the employee's current debt.
How to track a negative leave balance?
In Pulsar HRM, a negative balance is kept as advance leave: if borrowing is enabled in the policy, employees can take leave before accruing it, and the advance balance is the maximum borrowing days minus the current debt.
How are leave days calculated?
Calendar days in the selected range are counted; weekly rest days are deducted based on the employee's work schedule and public holidays based on the holiday list, and the remaining days count toward leave. The return-to-work date is found by skipping weekly rest days and public holidays.
