Balances

Operator-maintained snapshots of accrued, used, and available leave — kept current by hand, not auto-accrued.

Reviewed AdminVertiqa 1.54+

The balances page records how much leave each person has. A balance is a snapshot for one (employee, type, period) — for example Vacation, Jan–Dec 2026 — showing accrued, used, and available hours.

Balances are operator-maintained, not an accrual engine. Vertiqa does not accrue hours automatically or deduct them when a request is approved. You keep the numbers current yourself.

What you can do here

  • Add a balance — pick the employee and type, set the period, and enter accrued and used hours. Available is derived from the two.
  • Filter to the no balance or low balance indicators to find people who are out of, or nearly out of, a leave type.
  • Search, group by type, and export the visible list.
  • Open a balance to update accrued and used hours over the period.

How it relates to requests

Approving a time-off request does not change a balance. When you approve leave, update the matching balance's used hours so the available figure stays honest — that's the manual link between the two surfaces.

Tips

  • Keep one balance per type per period so the available number is unambiguous.
  • Use the low balance indicator as a heads-up before approving more leave of a type someone has nearly exhausted.
