Why are employees' balances for the new leave type set to zero, despite being linked to their current leave scheme?

Why are employees' balances for the new leave type set to zero, despite being linked to their current leave scheme?

Alert
This applies to all PaySpace editions.

If a new leave type 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 type 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 > Configuration > Human Resources > Leave Administration > Leave Scheme Parameters

      

A leave adjustment may be processed to correct the employee's leave balance.
