Hello to everyone,

Can I use the carry-forward limit before the annual leave limit?
For example: if I have 5 carry-forward days from previous year and lets say this year my usual limit is 14 days, can I arrange something that when I enter an annual leave can it use carry-forward limit before my usual limit?

Because in my scenario if there are any unused days, it doesn't carry them over to the next year by adding the previous years’ unused days; it only carries over the unused days from the last year to the next year.

Thank you,

Hi,

The carry over limit has a valid to date and after that date you cannot use the days.

When you generate carry over days you can set the valid to date to be a date several years ahead, if you allow that.

But if you already generated carry over and set the end date - that’s the date that is valid.

So if you have carry over days (that were carry over days already last year) with a valid to date that has passed you cannot use them.

What I have done to solve this is that I export the remaining days to excel and then import them again using “Import of unused absence limit”, setting a new valid to date.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Maria
