Question

TIME module allows negative vacation

I do not want QBs to allow employees to take negative vacation.  I do not want vacation going to a negative balance.
But if an employee requested vacation a few months and then got sick and used their vacation for their then when today came the TIME modules allows me to pay them vacation….even if their balance is zero.  How do i stop this.
Thanks

To prevent negative time-off balances, edit the vacation policy assigned to your employees and select the No, don't allow requests that will result in a negative balance option.
 

  1. Go to All apps, select Time, then Time off.
  2. Head to the Policies tab and select your vacation time-off code.
  3. Click the three dots icon next to it, then select Edit.
  4. Scroll down to the Negative balance section.
  5. Select No, don't allow requests that will result in a negative balance, then click Save.
