Question

How is an employee’s time off balance impacted by termination?

Answer

When an employee is terminated, their time off balance is re-adjusted so that their termination date becomes the cut-off point. If the employee has approved time off that falls after their termination date, those days will be returned to their time off balance—except for the termination date itself, which is not reinstated.

For example, if an employee’s termination date is 1 November 2026 but they had approved time off from 1–8 November, only 2–8 November will be returned to their balance. 1 November will be forfeited.

Before finalizing a termination, the Final Time Off Entitlement screen will appear. This screen shows the employee’s current time off balances and what their final balances will be after termination. It allows you to review how the time off has been recalculated before you confirm the termination.

If you need to make any changes to the time off balances before proceeding, you can exit this screen and update the balances via the Time Off Details section on the employee file. Once you're ready, select Accept and terminate to finalize the process.
