How does forecasting work?

The HIP system will allow employees to forecast their leave so they can plan ahead, and tell them how much they’ll have in a future period according to their anticipated accrual schedule.  This feature helps everyone plan ahead for popular leave periods like summer vacations and holiday travel.

During forecasting, HIP will determine if the employee has enough absence balance to cover their request.  This is based on existing absence requests the employee has and their entitlements.  If the employee does not have sufficient absence balance, their absence request will need to be adjusted or the employee risks incurring LWOP.  NOTE: The system considers absence requests that have been saved during the forecasting process.  Please make sure to submit or delete any saved absence requests to ensure accurate forecasting.
