scheduled absences should automatically be placed in timeshe

[jpmahon]

We have an employee who had a schedule running on auto-pilot. His schedule
was modified to include some vacation days. I thought these days would be
automatically placed in the timesheet. However, they were not. It would be very
good if this was changed.

Thanks

This feature is on schedule to be added for TimeTrex v2.1.

Is there anyway for a manager to see that a employee has X number of days left to accrue for the year?

Reading the forum posts this was in ver 2.1 the download is 2.2 did I miss it?

Thanks a ton

Supervisors/Managers can see employee accruals by going to TimeSheet -> Accruals, and selecting the employee, or when they add an absence in the schedule, or in the timesheet, TimeTrex will show them the accrual balances if the absence policy is assigned to an accrual.

This specific feature has been in TimeTrex for quite a while now.

The thing I am looking for is if the employee will earn enough vacation to cover the request, not just that he has accrued it.

Unfortunately that is not something TimeTrex can say for sure. Accrual policies change, employees quit or are terminated, bank time gets diverted to accruals, or withdrawn from them.

There are just too many different scenarios that would cause this value to be totally incorrect. If you are looking to figure out how many hours an employee would accrue, I would suggest changing their accruals so they get a lump sum at the beginning of the year rather then little chunks throughout the year. Of course this method has its own set of problems too.
