Some businesses allow employees to take more leave than they have accrued, resulting in a negative leave balance that the employee has to ‘earn back’ before additional leave is accrued. Other businesses do not allow this, and would prefer the system prevent employees taking more leave than they are entitled to.
In order to handle both scenarios, a setting is available within the leave categories, which allows each leave category to be configured to either allow or not allow negative balances.
