Time off summary

Use the Time off summary page in Sage HR to view employee balances, manage requests, and access time off tools.

The Time off summary page brings together an employee's time off balances, requests, and related tools.

You can use the page from your profile or another employee's profile.

Time off summary page showing employee time off balances, policy search, upcoming and past time off requests, approval actions, and time off management tools.


Time off balances

This section shows balances for the time off policies assigned to the employee.

You can see up to four policies initially. If there are more policies, select Show more to see them.

Select Show less to collapse the list.

The policies follow the order set in Time off policy settings. Changing this order affects all employees.

You can also:

  • Search for a specific policy by name

  • Select View details to review accrual and balance information or edit carry over

  • Change an employee's balance for a policy

  • Use the balance to date calculator


Accrued balances

For labour-based and other non-annual accrual policies, the balance shows entitlement actually accrued to date.

This includes policies that accrue daily, monthly, or bi-weekly.

You'll see:

  • Available balance

  • Current accrued balance

  • Accrual rule

Future accrual doesn't appear in the balance.

EXAMPLE: An employee earns one day for each day worked. On 3 January, they've accrued three days.

If they've accrued 10 days and taken two, the balance shows 8 / 10.

In this example:

  • 8 is the available balance

  • 10 is the balance accrued to date

Annual accrual policies continue to show the full annual entitlement because the employee receives the entire allowance at once.


Check a future balance

If you need to check your projected balance for a future date, use the Balance to Date report:

  1. Open the Balance to Date report.

  2. Select the future date you want to check, such as 31 December.

  3. Run the report.

  4. Review the projected balance for that date.
