You can check your hour and vacation balances both in ems Mobile (Hour and Vacation Balances (ems Mobile)) and in ems Web. If you are the system administrator, you also have access to the hours and vacation balances of other employees (Hours and Vacation Balances (ems Web)).
The system administrator can set minimum and maximum limits for the balances so that if these limits are exceeded or not met, the report cannot be released (a warning message appears). This prevents your hour and vacation balances from becoming negative.
View Balances from the Previous Day #
Under Time Tracking → Open your employee profile (tap the pencil icon on the right) → Time Requests → Current Hour Balance, you’ll find your current vacation and hour balances as of the previous day.
For comparison, the balances as of the end of the most recent reported period and the projected balances as of year-end (based on upcoming time requests) are also shown here.
In the new design, your own hour and vacation balances are displayed in the time tracking section under the tab list.
Reports #
The balances can also be found in the following reports (depending on the time period selected in the screen):
Time Tracking Report #
The time tracking report contains data on time and expense entries for the selected time period. The values for the time accounts are listed at the bottom, along with comparative values for the day before and the day after the time period, expressed in hours (H) and days (D).
