- Current Balance: The employee’s available balance at the time of the request. Depending on how the policy is set up, this may be shown in hours or days.

Additional Information
Once the request is approved, you can see the Earning and Deduction Entries listed. Please review the following article on how to review: How To View, Search, And Filter Previous Earnings and Deductions. Users will also be able to make changes to these entries if needed!
When the relevant payroll is processed, users will be able to see on the paystub that the balance has lowered to match the amount of days/ hours taken, as well as a payout to the employee if they requested from a paid Policy.
If the employee is salaried and part of an Unpaid or Paid Policy, their regular pay will automatically be lowered with an Earning and Deduction entry that is a negative amount based on the approved time off request. If this is not occurring in your account, please contact the Push Support Team at support@pushoperations.com to enable a feature.
Employees will receive an email notification once a request is approved or rejected. They will be able to manage and view their requests from a Desktop or a mobile device from the Push Employee app.
Please note that only Super Administrators and Team Administrators with permission to View/Update the Scheduler by Position(s) can approve and reject time off requests associated with Leave Management.
