Fixing Negative Leave Balance Errors
Sometimes posting leave or time triggers a long error about negative leave balances with large numbers.
To bypass the error:
Go to PR Leave Codes and open the leave code involved.
Change Leave Balance Warning Level to Allowed without Warning.
If the employee has a Leave Balance Warning Override in PR Employee Leave, update it there too.
Notes:
Even with “Allowed without Warning,” a warning may still appear during validation/posting.
The error usually happens when:
Pay Period Control shows periods without the Leave Accrual/Usage final update checked.
Leave entries were processed outside Auto Leave Accrual/Usage, leaving unprocessed records.
To fix it correctly, rerun the Auto Leave Accrual/Usage process for that pay period.
Caution: Do not reopen old pay periods just to rerun this—only rerun for the current period if needed.
