💡 Things to take into consideration

Only the balance corresponding to reviewed and approved months can be compensated via payroll.

Payroll and Time off compensation can work simultaneously. The only requirement is to enable and define a balance limit.

  • The balance can be automatically compensated with time off according to the rules you define, and the time exceeding the limit can later be manually compensated with payroll.
  • In the absence of a limit, all overtime accrued in the balance would be automatically compensated with time off.

💡  Things to take into consideration

  • In case the balance carryover is activated, only the overtime accrued in the selected period will be compensated.
  • You can check the time available to be compensated in the tooltip of each employee's balance number.
  • The system generates an incidence if there is any conflict that prevents the generation of an automatic supplement in an employee's payroll. In such cases, admins will receive an email with the error report.
