Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

Maintain Time Off Plan Override Balances establishes an employee’s overall time off plan balance as of the start date of an eligible processing period. It is therefore the correct manual task for giving the new worker a negotiated beginning balance of 40 hours. Workday uses the overridden amount as the starting point for calculating subsequent accruals, time off deductions, and balance changes.

Correct Absence is used to correct existing absence requests or entries and does not establish a plan’s opening balance. Maintain Accrual and Time Off Limit Overrides suspends an upper, lower, or time off limit; it would not create the 40-hour balance. Maintain Time Off Plan Carryover Overrides modifies carryover amounts or carryover expiration dates and applies to balance movement between balance periods rather than a negotiated starting balance.

The administrator must select an override date corresponding to the start of a period for which the worker is eligible. The plan must permit overrides. Because Workday treats the override as the authoritative balance at that point, retroactive entries dated on or before the override date will not cause Workday to recalculate the overridden balance automatically.
