 Everyone's balance looks different. Flexibility proves you see that and you'll meet people where they are.

Flexibility without the admin

Employees see real-time calculations of what each holiday day is worth based on their salary, while HR can configure windows and approval workflows that integrate directly with payroll – removing the need for manual tracking.

Employees control their work-life balance

Different life stages demand different things. Holiday Trading lets each employee optimise for their circumstance, whether that’s maximising time off or maximising income.

  • Buy extra days, sell unused days
  • Flexible windows configurable by you
  • Real-time value calculator

Centralise your salary sacrifice

No need for separate systems, Holiday Trading sits alongside your other salary deduction benefits (e.g., Cycle to Work, SmartTech), giving HR one dashboard for everything.

  • One place for all benefits – Holiday Trading, C2W, SmartTech
  • Single employee login
  • Unified reporting
  • 24/7/365 help
