Projected Leave

Project a future leave balance

  • Projected Leave is used to estimate an employee’s leave balance at a future date.
  • Projected Leave takes into account any future approved and pending leave requests.
  • Future leave is defined as any leave request occurring after the last closed pay date in the payroll system.

Benefits of Projected Leave

The benefit of Projected Leave is employees and managers can ascertain the entitlement to take leave at a future date. For example, an employee may not have a sufficient leave balance now, but may have accrued enough leave when the leave is due to be taken. This tool lets them find out what their leave balance would be at the time they would like to take the leave.

What is included in the Projected Leave calculation

Projected Leave is made up of four components to ascertain the future balance:

1. Total leave balance (annual leave includes both entitled and accrued leave) as at the last closed pay.

2. Estimated accrual from last closed pay to the projection date selected.

3. Any future leave requests that have been approved (not including those after projection date).

4. Any future leave requests entered that have not yet been approved (not including those after projection date).
