Why are employees' balances for a new leave type linked to their existing leave scheme zero?

Why are employees' balances for a new leave type linked to their existing leave scheme zero?

If a new leave scheme is created under an existing leave scheme in the middle of a cycle, it will pull through to the employees' Leave Balances screen, however, the balance will be zero (for instance, a Special leave parameter was added to the Standard Leave Scheme after its initial setup). The new leave type's balance/accrual will only take effect once the new cycle begins.

      Navigate > Employee > Leave > Balances

      

To correct the employee's zero leave balance, create a leave adjustment.
