Creating Your Organisation
Configure your organisation settings, leave year, and working days.
Organisation basics
When you sign up for Offly, you create an organisation — this is the top-level container for your team, settings, and data.
Organisation settings page
Your organisation settings are accessible from Settings → Organisation.
Key settings
Organisation name
Displayed in the app, email notifications, and calendar events. You can change this at any time.
Country
Determines which public holidays are automatically imported. Offly supports holidays for 100+ countries and regions.
Timezone
Used for scheduling notifications and determining day boundaries.
Leave year
Your leave year defines when allowances reset. Navigate to Settings → Leave Year to configure:
Choose your start month
Most common configurations:
- January — calendar year
- April — UK financial year
- Custom — any month you prefer
Configure carry forward
Decide how many unused days roll over:
- No carry forward — allowances reset completely
- Limited — up to X days carry over
- Unlimited — all unused days roll over
Pro-rata
For employees joining mid-year, Offly automatically calculates pro-rated allowances based on their start date.
Working days
Under Settings → Working Days, select which days your team works. This affects how leave is calculated — a week off for a Mon–Fri team deducts 5 days, while a 4-day week deducts 4.
