How do Accrual and Balances work
Navigate to the Time Off page, then click on Accrual and Balances.
This section displays a list of time off categories with available or used balances for a selected user.
- Only categories with accrued time will appear here.
- Categories without accrual settings are excluded (as they have no balance to track).
User Selection
At the top of the page, a User dropdown allows you to switch between employees.
By default, the dropdown auto-selects the user currently logged in on the Timeero web app.

-
