# Holiday allowances

Set how many days of holiday each person gets in the leave year and see what they've taken, booked and have left.

Allowances show how much holiday each person has left this leave year.

1. Open **People → Time off** and the **Holiday allowances** tab.
2. For each person you see **Allowance**, **Carried over**, **Taken**, **Booked**, **Requested** and **Remaining**.
3. To change someone's allowance, select **Change**.
4. Enter **Days for the year** and anything **Carried over from last year**.
5. Save.

People without their own allowance use the **Company default**, 28 days by default. That's the UK full-time minimum, including bank holidays.

By default the leave year starts in January. Change it and the default in [Labour settings](/settings/labour-settings/).

Only approved holiday counts as taken or booked. Sick and training days don't use the allowance.
