How to Credit/Debit Employee Leave Balance

Admins can manually adjust an employee’s leave balance by crediting (adding) or debiting (subtracting) days for a specific leave type. This is useful for one-off entitlement adjustments or corrections.

  1. In the sidebar, navigate to Employees > Employees List.
