With Future leave balance, you can now look ahead and understand how your time off balance will change in the current and upcoming accrual periods. This means you no longer have to guess how many days will be left till the end of the leave/accrual period or how your balance will look after the carryover date – the system calculates it for you.
If you’re interested in trying out the feature, please get in touch with our customer support team via chat or email at support@peopleforce.io.
The feature is available only for accrued leave policies and does not apply to manually tracked leave types. Accruals can be displayed in days or hours, depending on leave policy settings.
Where to find it
On the leave widget in the Time off section and on the Home page, you’ll notice a new Calendar button. It is available to everyone: employees, managers, and admins.
When you click it, a sidebar opens with full details of your leave accruals. At the top of the sidebar, you’ll find the leave policy name. Below that, there are two tabs:
Current accrual period shows the accrual dates and your available balance as of today.
Next accrual period shows the dates for the upcoming period and the expected balance.
The table with the Available balance, which always matches the information in the leave widget. You will also see Accruals for each period and the Forecasted balance:
For the current accrual period: Available at the moment + Accrued for the period.
For the next accrual period: Expected starting balance + Accrued for the period.
How it works
When you submit a leave request, the system shows exactly how many days will remain on the date your leave begins. Managers and approvers see the same information when reviewing your request, so they know the balance before approving.
For HR teams, the forecasted balance is also visible in the export of the Leave balance report for all employees, which helps with planning and financial forecasting.
