Setting up and changing vacation deduction order

When booking an absence, Team Members may have access to more than one category, typically including time in lieu, carry over, and accrual. By default, Sage People deducts vacation requests from available categories in a standard order:

1. Time in lieu

2. Carry Over

3. Accrued entitlement

You can control deduction order for each absence type as defined by the Absence Accrual Rule:

1. Open the Absence Accrual Rule.

2. On the Absence Accrual Rule Detail page, select Deduct Order:
