Go to ConsoleAttendanceLeave, open Balances and select the person.
- On their Leave panel, select Adjust balance.
- Choose Add or Take, the type and how many days.
- Write the reason, such as "Two days agreed in her contract", and select Add the days or Take the days.
Good to Know
- Every change to a balance is a line in The ledger: who made it, when and why. Lines are never changed.
- Balances shows each person's entitled, carried over, taken, adjusted and expired days, with what's booked and waiting.
- Adjustments are in whole or half days.
- Export balances to CSV, Excel or PDF from AttendanceLeave.
If Something Goes Wrong
- You made a wrong adjustment. Add another adjustment the other way, with a reason.
- You can't see Adjust balance. Only HR, Owners and Admins adjust balances.
