Read your leave balance: earned, carried over and expired days
See what you have left, what you have earned so far, and which carried days are about to expire.
For: Employees · Category: Leave & approvals
Your leave balance shows each leave type for the current year. If your company earns leave month by month or lets days carry over, you see that here too.
Steps
- Open your balance: Go to My Space -> Approvals -> My Requests. The My Leave Balance card sits above your requests when the Type filter is Leave or All.
- Read the main numbers: Each leave type shows the days Remaining, your Entitlement and the days Used so far this year. Remaining can go below zero if more days were taken than granted.
- See what you have earned so far: When your company earns leave month by month, you also see Earned so far, for example 5 of 20 days. Each month adds one twelfth of your yearly days. If you joined part way through a month, you earn that month by the days left from your hire date.
- See carried over days: If your company lets unused days carry over, you see Carried over with the number of days and a use by date. Carried days are used first.
- See expired days: Carried days you did not use by the date are lost. The card tells you how many expired and on which date.
Tips
- When you request leave for later in the year, you can use the days that will have been earned by its first day.
- Your approver sees the balance left before your request.
- Unpaid leave never carries over.
