Handling Negative Vacation Balances

You can enable negative vacation balances for employees by selecting the Negative Balance Option check box on the Absences page.

• If you do not enable negative balances, the system generates an error message and does not process the vacation take if the vacation take goes over the accumulated balance.

• If you enable negative balances, you can set a limit to the negative balance by either a fixed amount or a percentage of the next absence entitlement to be generated.

  For example, if an employee's next vacation entitlement is 12 days, and you set the limit for negative balances to 50 percent, then the system takes a limit of 6 days.
