Good to know

  • Adjustments add to the balance; they don’t replace it. Check the current balance first and add or deduct only the difference: to change 22 days to 24, add 2. If vacation days are added automatically, check which period that already covers.
  • After that, approved leave is deducted automatically.
  • A wrong request? Don’t adjust the balance to make up for it. Cancel or change the request instead, and the balance follows.
  • Each adjustment shows in the employee’s balance history, with your reason.
