To keep leave accruals within company policy and prevent excessive leave accumulation, it’s important to set a Maximum Leave Balance Limit. Follow these simple steps to configure this limit:

Steps to set the maximum leave balance

  1. Navigate to the Control Panel
    Log in and go to the Leaves → Entitlement section in HRStop.
  2. Select or edit the leave category
    Choose the leave type you want to limit, such as Annual Leave or Sick Leave.
  3. Set the maximum limit
    Find the field for Maximum Leave Balance. Enter the limit (e.g., 30 days).
  4. Save settings
    Save your changes to activate the limit.

What happens next?

  • The system monitors leave balances.
  • If an employee exceeds the limit, a warning appears.
  • Additional leave crediting is blocked until the balance is below the limit.

This ensures leave management stays consistent with your company’s policies.
