Hi ​@Josefin Bohlin !

Tagging ​@LegoMD and ​@Edda van der Ende to help with this one.

Hi ​@Josefin Bohlin  

I had the same questions about this around two years ago, and recently as well. Unfortunately, as far as I know, if you have already set the accrual policy, the employee and supervisor are notified if it results in a negative balance; however, the employee can still submit a request.

The only way to manage this is to regularly check reports, review, and follow up with the employees. Does anyone have another solution, maybe?

Best regards,
Diana

Hi ​@Josefin Bohlin  - there isn’t a way around this issue of employees being able to request an amount of time off that will take them in to a negative balance, unfortunately. The process for setting up absence policies has been updated fairly recently, but no functionality was added to be able to restrict absence requests to only the amount of leave that is available to the employee.

I found recently that if a Supervisor approves a leave request from their Inbox/Dashboard - without clicking through to the request itself - there’s no flag or alert to let them know that approving the leave request will take the employee into a negative balance (because I did it myself, for someone in my team!).

I also can’t see a way to set up a Workflow which will flag if an approved leave request takes an employee in to a negative balance. 

Fingers crossed it’s something that is being considered for the roadmap!
