What data is needed for Holiday Trading?

Clients need to upload the following data for their employees so they can use Holiday Trading: 

Note: All scheme-specific required fields like registration questions, employee identifier, etc, need to be included in the file as well.

• Annual Salary: Employee's annual gross salary - required field
• Payroll Name: The name of the payroll (in the Reward Manager in SmartPay) the employee is in - required field
• Date of Birth: Employee's date of birth - required field
• Holiday Trading Units: Days, hours, or none (none is only for these employees, who should not have access to Holiday Trading) - required field
• Holiday Trading Maximum Buy: Employee's individual maximum number of hours/days to buy (this is to be provided, if employees have a different amount of hours/days to buy from each other e.g. employee A can buy 5 days, employee B can buy 7 days, employee C can buy 3 days etc.) - required field, unless the client would like to use default allowance (e.g. all employees allowed to buy the same number of days, for example 5)
• Holiday Trading Maximum Sell: Employee's individual maximum number of hours/days to sell (this is to be provided if employees have a different amount of hours/days to sell from each other) - required field, unless the client would like to use default allowance (e.g. all employees allowed to sell the same number of days, for example 5)
• Annual Weeks Worked: Weeks worked per year: if this information is not provided, the product will use a default value of 52 - required field for part-time employees, and optional when the client would like to use the default value of 52 for their employees
• Weekly Hours Worked: Hours worked per week: if this information is not provided, the product will use a default value of 40 - required field for part-time employees, and optional when the client would like to use the default value of 40 for their employees
• Holiday Trading Work Days: Days worked per week: if this information is not provided, the product will use a default value of 5 - optional field (to be used when the client has employees who work 1-2-3-4 days a week)
• Total Annual Sacrifice Amount: Often referred to as Other Deductions, this is the amount of money, allocated to the employee for a different provider outside of RG (if any) for a calendar year - optional field

Notes:

• If a client uses another gross salary product (e.g. Cycle to Work) on pre-approval and they want Holiday Trading on post-approval, they’ll still need to provide the employee's annual gross salary when uploading their file
• Payroll name is a required field if you have more than one Payroll in SmartPay
• In case some members are not eligible to apply in this window, the client should list “0” for HT Allowance and “None” for HT Units for these members in the file
