Answer
The leave balances area includes a How is this balance calculated? button. It opens a breakdown of how Lightning Payroll is viewing the employee's leave position as of the selected date.
What the breakdown includes
- Annual Holidays balance in weeks
- Sick leave balance in days
- Alternative Holiday balance in days
- The anniversary window, including the last and next anniversary dates
- Projected annual holiday entitlement since the last anniversary
- Recent payout snapshot notes, such as AWE or OWP used for annual holiday payouts
Why this is useful
This view helps explain why the visible balance looks the way it does and whether there are due grants still waiting to be inserted. It is especially helpful when reviewing anniversary-based annual holidays or checking historical payout methods.
