Leave balance and leave ledger

What is Leave balance and leave ledger?

A leave balance is how much paid time off an employee has left, and a leave ledger is the running record of every accrual, deduction, and adjustment behind that number.

The balance is the headline figure; the ledger is the proof. When someone questions their remaining days, the ledger shows every change and who made it, which ends most disputes.
