Understanding Time-Off Balances

See how to understand your accrual and up-front time-off balances.

Time-off balances in People by Wagepoint reflect real-time availability.

Your balance is the amount of time-off (or the amount you have accrued so far) minus your pending requests, approved but not yet taken requests, and time you have already taken. 

Your days or hours available plus your pending, approved and used hours will equal your total amount of time off in a policy period for an up-front policy. 

In the example below, the employee has a total of 200 hours to use in the policy period. The hours available (168) + hours approve (8) + hours used (24) = 200 hours. 

In an accrual policy, the hours/days available is the time you have accrued so far in the policy period, minus any pending, approved or used time. Keep in mind that future request may cause the available time to show a negative balance. 

In the example below, the employee is in a 20 day accrual policy. The employee has 3.97 days available as of today. They have 4 days used, and 2 approved. Available days (3.97) + approved (2) + used (4) + days left to accrue (10.08) = 20 days. 

Your hours or days left to accrue will show you the amount of time you are going to accrue in your policy, which may cover future requests. Your accrual chart will also show you what your balance will be on the day your request happens.
