Understand your balances

Your balance for a leave type is one simple sum: what you are entitled to, minus what you have used, minus what is waiting for a decision. Ferio shows all three numbers, so the remaining total is never a surprise.

Used, pending and available

Each balance card shows the total entitlement for the year, the days already used (approved leave), and the days pending (submitted but not yet decided). Available is total minus used minus pending. Pending days are held, so two requests cannot quietly spend the same day twice.

What counts against a balance

Only working days are deducted. Weekends, the public holidays for your country profile and your own non-working days are skipped, so a two-week holiday that spans a public holiday costs fewer days than the calendar range suggests.

For how the day count is worked out, see Request time off.

Types without a fixed number

Not every leave type has a numeric balance. An unlimited type shows an infinity mark and never deducts. Event-based and one-time types work differently again. Annual leave is the type that carries the full entitlement breakdown, including any age, children or seniority bonuses.

Where those numbers come from is covered in Quotas and entitlements.

When balances change

Approving a request moves days from pending to used; rejecting or cancelling releases them back to available. Balances are kept per year and per country profile, and Ferio recalculates them automatically.
