# Automatic transfer of remaining vacation days to the following year

🔜 cooming soon

In WILSON, you can define whether unused vacation days from one calendar year should automatically be carried over into the next year.

You can find this setting under:

**Settings > Company Settings > Absences**

There, you can activate the function using a simple toggle. Once saved, the setting applies company-wide to all employees.

**Functionality and system behavior**

When the setting is active, any remaining vacation days from the previous year are automatically included in the calculation of the current leave balance.

In the leave allocation editor (*Employees > Vacation Management > Edit Allocation*), you will see a read-only field labeled *"Carried over from last year"*. This field displays the carried-over value.

**Mobile view**

In the mobile app under *Profile > Absences*, the automatically transferred value is also correctly reflected in the leave balance. This gives your employees a consistent overview across all devices.

**Important limitation of this feature**

This setting only handles the carry-over of vacation days. It does **not** include any additional business logic, such as the automatic expiration of carried-over days after a specific period.  
If your organization applies such internal rules, you will still need to adjust the leave balance manually – for example, by entering a negative value to reduce the entitlement.

**Effective date**

The setting will take effect for the first time with the transition from **2025 to 2026**. For all previous years, enabling the setting has no impact.
