We typically close out the previous weeks pay period the following week on Wednesday so our planned use column is never accurate if an employee took PTO the previous week. The planned use column still calculates that data. We really need to be able to hide this because it is confusing for employees. We either need the ability to hide the column or for it to update regardless if the pay period is still open or not.

Hi James,
How many days after the pay period end date do your close your pay periods?
Thanks
We are constantly having employees say that their portal planned use column does not match their paystub. Their paystub matches what is in Vista, but it does not match in the portal because apparently the previous weeks pay periods need to be closed in order for it to update. It should update automatically regardless.
Mark,
Yes we are. Those were items also recommended by support and the reason why I created this suggestion. If an employee took PTO the previous week, the planned use column is always going to be incorrect until that pay period is closed.
Hi James,
Are you using the following portal settings?
Include Pending Requests in Planned Use Calculation
Push Pending Requests to HR Resource Schedule
Push Time-Off Requests to HR Resource Schedule on Approval
Thanks!
