FAQ: When do workers see the Maximum Unpaid Validation?

Workday triggers the Maximum Unpaid validation when a worker requests time off that both:
  • Reduces their balance to below the
    Lower Limit
     value defined in the time off plan, or any time off overrides.
  • Exceeds the number of unpaid units defined in the time off plan for
    Maximum Unpaid Time Off Units
    .
Examples: You set
Lower Limit
 to zero and
Maximum Unpaid Time Off Units
:
  • To zero. If a worker requests a time off that makes their balance go below zero, Workday triggers the validation.
  • To 8. If a worker requests a time off that makes their balance go below -8, Workday triggers the validation.
