Balances, accrual and opening balances

How balances grow

Every night Ovrilo adds what each person has earned under their policies. It's safe to run twice: nothing is ever added twice. Managers can also choose Run accrual now.

Why this balance?

On Time off › Balances, click a person. Each policy shows the balance, what's usable now, hours about to expire, Why this balance? (the working out, line by line), and the full history.

Correct a balance

Choose Adjust, enter the hours (a minus number takes hours away) and say why. Nothing is overwritten: the history always adds up.

Bring over balances from before

  1. Open Opening balances and download the template.
  2. Enter each person's balance on the day you start, and the days they'd already worked this year.
  3. Upload, check the preview, then import. Importing the same file twice adds nothing.
