Vacation coverage in Beanflow

Beanflow automatically calculates the standard provincial or territorial vacation rule. Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island also require the employer to confirm that the employee is not in a named exception before the employee can be added to a pay group.
