Exceed leave type limits

In some situations, an employee may exhaust their sick leave due to unforeseen health issues but needs additional time off. The Exceed Leave Type Limits feature can provide necessary time to recover without financial stress and improve loyalty and employee retention.

Note: When using this feature in TimeOff.Management, only leave type limits are affected; allowance restrictions are still respected. Learn how to enable negative allowance in the related article.

Negative allowance can be accessed from Advanced settings:

Press Edit at the top right corner to put Advanced Settings in edit mode.

To switch the feature on, toggle it as shown below. This makes the feature available but not immediately active for employees.

To make it available for all employees, toggle Allow to Exceed Leave Type Limits — this enables it company‑wide.

For a targeted approach, once the feature is enabled, it can be activated per employee. Go to Employee Details → Allowance tab.

At the bottom of the page, in “Is Exceeding Leave Type Limits enabled”, select Yes and Save changes. This grants the selected employee the ability to exceed leave type limits.
