If your company allows time off in lieu, there will be an entitlement set up and employees will see this on the dropdown in their requests. The system will then allow: employees to add time to the entitlement, and request to take the time accrued, as well as allowing the manager to approve both requests.

Setting up Toil
The following setup can only be performed by an administrator or PeopleManager.
Navigate over to Admin and click on Administer entitlement plans.
Below are the settings that need to be in place for Toil to calculate correctly. Name the plan and select the absence type "Time in Lieu"
Set the full-time hours to what your companies full time hours are and set the period length to 12.
Make sure you tick the Hours Based box, as all Toil requests will be in hours.
You do not need to use the auto create plan as this plan only needs to show once and does not need to be created every year.
Next under the date options the plan needs to be set to Fixed and a fixed date to be set back in the past. You can replicate what is stated in the Holiday Entitlement, but the date needs to be in the past.

The calculations section method NEEDS to be "Rolling Threshold"
You can choose if you wish to use a rounding method, most do not and are set to None.
Then make sure the service calculation is set to Fixed at Entitlement Date.

The new entitlement is now setup. You will next need to make sure each employee has the entitlement on their account in order for this to calculate correctly. Below is an example.
