If you have your leave accruals set to Rate of Earnings or Hours for your leave codes, the portal does not support calculating projected hours. The totals employees and managers see will not reflect accurate information.

Aggghh!! This! This suggestion right here! The projected hours available do not calculate based on PTO limits and can really throw some confusion around when Employees look at it. When I turned off the the "projected balances" so they didn't show, it allowed employees to request time off that they didn't have and it was a huge mess. One or the other needs to have an overhaul!
We have Leave set to Rate of Earnings or Hours, and the Portal calculates projections for us. But what it does not do, is limit the projected accrual.
If an employee is set to accrue 80 hours in a year, the accrual rate uses 2080 hours as the rate basis. If the employee gets to 2080 hours before the end of December (they have had Overtime hours), their accrual stops - is limited to 80 hours annually. But the projection does not take this into consideration; it assumes the employee will keep accruing to the end of the year. So it projects more hours available than the employee really has.
We like the projection feature, just want it to take the limits into consideration.
Hi Annette,
Thanks for adding this suggestion!
Before we review with the development team, I'd like to see how the rest of the Viewpoint community feels about this request.
In the meantime, we recommend disabling the projected hours for any leave codes that are rate based.
Thank you
