How do I view my current leave balances?
Checking your accrued and future leave entitlements.
This article provides instructions for employees on how to access and view their current leave balances within Platform for Care. Keeping track of your accrued entitlements ensures you can plan your time off effectively and stay informed about your available holiday pay.
Viewing Balances in Your Employee Profile
Employees can check their live leave balances directly through their personal profile on the platform.
- Log in to the Platform for Care web portal or mobile app.
- Navigate to your Employee Profile.
- Select the Accruals tab.
- Here you will find a list of all Employee Leave Types (e.g., Annual Leave, Personal Leave) alongside your current Leave Accrued balance.
Note: If your organisation uses an integrated payroll system, these balances are updated automatically after each pay round.
Understanding Your Leave Data
The Accruals tab provides a real-time summary of your entitlements.
- Accrued Hours: The total amount of leave you have earned to date.
- Leave Types: Different categories of leave, such as Annual Leave or Community Service Leave, are listed separately to show specific balances.
- Payroll API: For organisations with a Payroll API connection, your leave accruals are pulled directly from the payroll system to ensure accuracy.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Why is my leave balance not showing? Leave accruals are only visible if your organisation is set up with a Payroll API or if an administrator has manually uploaded the accrual data. If you believe your balance is incorrect, please contact your manager.
Do pending leave requests affect my balance? Once a leave request is Approved, the system automatically processes the change. Depending on your organisation's configuration, your balance may update immediately or after the next payroll cycle.
Can I see a history of my leave taken? Yes. You can view an overview of all your submitted and approved leave applications under the Leave tab in your profile.
