It is best to check this with your employer. Employers, depending on the payroll connection type, can hide certain leave types. If you believe this is a mistake, let your employer know.

There is an occasional issue where external calendar invites in Microsoft Outlook show the wrong date, meaning it is inconsistent with the leave submitted in your Employment Hero platform.

Click on and open the calendar invite often corrects the date display in Outlook.

This issue is due to how Outlook handles .ics calendar invites. As this is an Outlook-specific issue, we recommend contacting Outlook support directly if further assistance is required.
