Question
How do I enable the negative balance feature?
Answer
You can enable our Negative Leave Balance feature via the Employment Settings page. The feature applies to all leave categories and means that an employee cannot ask for leave that would put them into a negative balance. Employees will receive an error message when attempting to apply for leave that would put them into negative leave.
We calculate negative leave based on submitted and approved leave. Should a manager or administrator allow an employee to go into negative leave, only they can submit the leave request for that employee.
