Leave balance

What is Leave balance?

A leave balance is how much paid time off an employee has left at a given moment, after their accruals, carryover, and every request they have taken are added up.

The balance is the headline number people actually check before booking time off. It moves as leave accrues, as requests are approved, and at year end when carryover and any reset apply, so a balance you can trust has to be calculated, not typed into a spreadsheet.

Behind the number sits the leave ledger - the line-by-line history of how it got there. When someone questions their remaining days, that record settles it. HREvio keeps both: a live balance per employee and the full ledger behind it.
