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).
