Hello, currently we manage our time-off bookings via another system, we need to record time-off in Deel for payroll reasons. I have been able to use the API endpoints available to create, update and delete time-off within Deel. But now I have a requirement to update employee time-off allowances and I cannot seem to find any documentation on how I can achieve this. Would anyone happen to know if it is possible and if it is, how do I do it. Thank you…

Hello @Steve.Price

You can rely on [Get Policies for profile](https://developer.deel.com/reference/getpoliciesforprofile) for checking the allowances for a specific user, and [Get Profile entitlements](https://developer.deel.com/reference/getprofileentitlements) for the checking the usage of those allowances. But to modify it, you must do it via the UI.

You can go to **Organizations Settings → Time-off**

And from there you can create a new policy and/or assign a worker to a specific policy.
