Explaining leave balances


You are able to view and manage your leaves in a very detailed manner through your altHR app. There are a few terms in this section that you should familiarise yourself with:


Leave policyThe type of leave. For example, sick leave and annual leave. 
Leave balancesRemaining leaves you can apply for.
Leave deductionLeaves taken or forfeited. 
Leave entitlementLeaves you are entitled to at the start of the cycle.
Replacement creditReplacement leaves.
Carry forwardAnnual leaves carry forward from previous year. 
Limit per cycleThe maximum leaves you are entitled to based on a particular leave policy in a year.


The general rule here is Leave Entitlement - Leave Deduction = Leave Balance
