Important configuration details
Rollover, transfer and burn should be treated as separate policy decisions.
Each mechanism changes balances differently. Confirm caps, timing and administrative processes before relying on them for a year-end close.
Rollover and transfer are differentSame-type carry-forward moves an unused balance into the same leave type next year; cross-type rules move eligible usage between configured pools.
Cross-type transfer depends on reconciliationConfigured cross-type rules are applied through an administrator-run periodic reconciliation process rather than instantly when the rule is saved.
Burn removes leaveA burn schedule expires a configured portion of remaining balance and should match approved company policy.
Typical workflow
Close the leave year with controlled balance treatment.
The chosen steps depend on whether the company rolls days forward, transfers usage to another pool or expires the balance.
