This setting is not enabled by default. If you would like to make use of this, you can request it on the chat with support.

Since today, you can also update the holiday balances based on your payroll calculation.

There are 2 steps in this process:

1 The setting of the payroll closure rules

Setting up payroll closing rules can be a bit complex — we’re happy to help you with it:

📩 Reach out to your consultant via email and ask for assistance in configuring the closing rules.

❓ Not sure who your consultant was?
Use the “Chat with Support” option – they’ll assist you or set up the closing rules for you.

⚠️ Important:
This is only possible if you see the “Payroll Closure” tab under
Management > Settings
If you don’t see this tab, please mention that in your message.

2 Closure of the payroll period

Want to close your payroll? Keep these 2 steps in mind:

When you're ready to close a payroll period in Strobbo, make sure you follow these important guidelines:

📌 Step 1: Balances are not sent to your payroll provider

The generated balances (e.g. overtime or compensations) are saved in Strobbo only.
They are not automatically forwarded to your payroll bureau.

📌 Step 2: Apply rules and verify first

You can only close after you’ve applied the rules and made any necessary manual corrections.
Double-check all data before confirming the closure.

🟠 Closed periods are marked with an orange bar

Once a period is closed, an orange banner will appear at the top of the payroll screen.
This also means you can no longer make changes to that period.

🔐 You cannot close future dates

You can only close up to today’s date.
For example: on July 29, you cannot close until July 31. Only select completed dates.

Found a mistake?

If you spot an error in a closed period, you’ll need to reopen it first before making any changes.
⚠️ Be careful: reopening and closing multiple times may make balance calculations unclear, since values are recalculated each time.

You can check the granted balance via the user's profile.

  • Via the leave tab

  • Click on the magnifying glass behind the type in question.

Here is another example of an updated balance. So now you know how to check whether it has actually worked.
