Can negative leave balances be carried forward?

Yes, negative leave balances can be carried forward in Keka's system. If your settings are configured to automatically carry forward all leave balances, this includes negative balances as well. However, if you prefer not to carry forward negative balances, it is crucial to adjust these balances manually during the year-end processing. This adjustment ensures that only the desired leave balances, excluding any negative figures, are carried into the new year. It's important to review and modify these balances as part of your year-end leave management routine to align with your organization's leave policy.

To configure these settings on the Keka Portal, navigate to Time Attend (1), then go to Leave (2), and under Leave Plans (3) you will see all the leave plans configured for your organization. 

Select the relevant leave plan and find the Leave Type you want to make prorated. Click on the three dots next to View and click Settings/update.

Once you click on the Settings/update option, a window will open. Go to Year End Processing (1) and select the option titled Carry Forward (2).  Check the option carry forward all (3) to ensure that all negative leave balances get carried forward. Next you can click Save Changes (4) and exit the window.
