Why isn’t leave being deducted from the allowance?

If a leave request is not reducing an employee’s allowance, the most common reason is a misconfiguration of the leave type settings.

In TimeOff, each leave type can be configured with one of the following options in relation to allowance:

• Deducted from allowance – the leave reduces the employee’s available allowance.
• No effect on allowance – the leave does not affect allowance.
• Add to allowance – the leave increases the allowance (e.g., earned time off).

To ensure a leave type draws from the employee’s allowance, select “Deducted from allowance” when configuring that leave type.

How to check or update the setting

1. Go to Settings → Leave types
2. Select the leave type to modify
3. In Effect on Holiday Allowance, choose “Deducted from allowance”
4. Save changes
