Leave Balance
Every person in your workspace has a leave balance for each leave type they're entitled to. Workloom tracks it automatically as requests are approved and leave is taken.
Where to see a balance
For yourself:
- Go to Leave in the sidebar
- Your current balances are shown at the top of the page
For a specific person (admin/manager):
- Open their profile
- Click the Leave tab
- Balances are shown per leave type
How balances work
Leave balances are set up by your workspace admin as part of your leave policies. A typical setup might be:
- 20 days vacation per year
- 10 days sick leave per year
When a leave request is approved, the days are deducted from the relevant balance. If a request is cancelled, the days are returned.
Accrual
Whether leave accrues over time (e.g., 1.67 days per month) or is granted as a lump sum at the start of the year depends on your workspace policy. Your admin configures this in settings.
If you're unsure how your balance is calculated, check with your admin.
Adjusting balances manually
Admins can manually adjust someone's leave balance — useful for:
- Correcting an error
- Granting extra leave
- Carrying over unused balance from the previous year
To adjust:
- Open the person's profile
- Go to the Leave tab
- Click Adjust balance next to the relevant leave type
- Enter the adjustment and a reason
All adjustments are logged for your records.
If someone's balance looks wrong, check the adjustment history before making changes — there may already be a manual adjustment explaining the difference.
