Description Payroll - Time Off Types   Max Earned for a level should be the max allowed to be earned PER YEAR - NOT length of employment.   Max would normally be used when earning vacation time per hour worked. If I am earning at .02 hours per hour, and work 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, I would earn 41.6 if there is no limit. Many Companies want to limit that to 40 per year. The Max Earned needs to apply to Year.   Putting a max on the total employement period is not needed, employers do not know how long an employee will work for them.... so they need to be able to earn time off as long as they work for the company.     {panel:borderStyle=dashed} Technical Requirements:   * Add new field to hold the Carryover/Overall Earned Hours - done   * Expose Carryover Hours field on Employee screen (and possibly Time Off Requests screen)   * Modify Reset Hours procedure to move currently Earned Hours to Carryover before resetting it to zero    Technical Considerations:   * Possibly change "Max Earned" to "Max Earned per Year" for more clarity   * Possbily remove the "Max Carryover" field since there is usually no cap on the Overall Earned Hours. Or possibly change the Max Carryover field usage to specify the maximum number of overall hours the employee can have at any given time.     {panel}
