Can negative leave balances be carried forward?

Yes, negative leave balances can be carried forward in Keka's system. If your settings are configured to automatically carry forward all leave balances, this includes negative balances as well. However, if you prefer not to carry forward negative balances, it is crucial to adjust these balances manually during the year-end processing. This adjustment ensures that only the desired leave balances, excluding any negative figures, are carried into the new year. It's important to review and modify these balances as part of your year-end leave management routine to align with your organization's leave policy.


During Year End processing in the second section, titled LEAVE BALANCE ACTIONS you can view the leave balances for the employee, including their available balance, any encashed days, carry forward days for the next year, and days that are set to expire. Here you can adjust the balances as well.



If you'd like to change the ratio of encashed or carry forwarded leave, you can override the text by hovering over the value and clicking on the Edit icon.
