MySolved PTO Balance and Time-Off Request Help

An employee signs in to mysolved and sees 64 hours of vacation.

The employee requests five days off, receives manager approval, and assumes the entire absence will be paid. After payday, however, the pay stub shows only 24 hours of PTO.

Another employee sees a negative balance after canceling a vacation request. Someone else expected unused hours to roll into the new year, but the balance suddenly dropped. A new hire cannot request time off even though the dashboard displays an accrual bank.

These problems are easier to understand when the employee separates several different concepts:

• Accrued PTO.
• Available PTO.
• Pending PTO.
• Approved PTO.
• Scheduled PTO.
• Used PTO.
• Payroll-paid PTO.
• Carryover.
• Accrual cap.
• Negative balance.
• Unpaid leave.
• Job-protected leave.

Employees often search for MySolved, although the official platform is generally called isolved People Cloud and uses the Myisolved identity environment.

Official isolved employee guidance says participating employees can request time off, view balances, and change or delete PTO requests through Time and Attendance → Time Off. The exact policies, balances and approval rules remain controlled by the employer.

This is an independent informational guide. It is not operated by isolved, an employer, a leave administrator or a labor agency. It cannot approve leave, increase a PTO balance, change payroll, cancel an absence or collect employee login credentials.

What Does MySolved Mean?

The search term mysolved commonly refers to:

• Myisolved employee login.
• isolved People Cloud.
• PTO balance.
• Vacation request.
• Sick leave.
• Employee timecard.
• Time and attendance.
• Payroll self-service.
• Work schedule.

MySolved is not normally presented as a separate official time-off product.

The employer determines:

• Which leave banks appear.
• How employees earn time.
• When accrued time becomes usable.
• Whether requests require approval.
• Whether unused time carries over.
• Whether a balance can become negative.
• Whether unused time is paid at termination.
• How approved leave reaches payroll.

The same People Cloud software can therefore display different PTO rules for employees at different companies.

Where to Find PTO in MySolved

The official employee FAQ currently directs employees to:

Time and Attendance → Time Off

From that section, participating employees may be able to:

• View balances.
• Request time off.
• Change a request.
• Delete a request.
• Review request status.
• See scheduled absences.

Availability depends on employer configuration.

Employees may also see time-off functions through:

• Mobile app.
• Employee dashboard.
• Scheduling section.
• Time clock.
• Manager approval workflow.

Official isolved materials describe employee self-service tools that allow workers to manage time off, pay details and personal information from connected devices.

How to Submit a Time-Off Request

A typical process can include:

1. Sign in through the official employer-provided People Cloud route.
2. Confirm the correct employer profile.
3. Open Time and Attendance.
4. Select Time Off.
5. Choose the correct absence policy.
6. Enter the date or date range.
7. Enter the start time when required.
8. Enter the number of requested hours.
9. Review the available balance.
10. Add a comment only when necessary.
11. Select the correct approver if prompted.
12. Submit the request.
13. Save the confirmation.
14. Monitor the request status.

The exact fields can differ for:

• Full-day absences.
• Partial-day absences.
• Overnight shifts.
• Hourly employees.
• Salaried employees.
• Multiple work locations.
• Different leave policies.

Draft Is Not the Same as Submitted

A request may show a status such as:

• Draft.
• In Progress.
• Submitted.
• Pending.
• Approved.
• Denied.
• Returned.
• Canceled.
• Deleted.
• Processed.
• Paid.

A saved draft usually has not reached the manager.

Before assuming the request is active, verify:

• Submission date.
• Requested hours.
• Absence type.
• Approver.
• Current status.
• Confirmation message.

A useful request is:

“My vacation request contains the dates and hours but still shows Draft. Please confirm whether an approver, certification or final submission step remains incomplete.”

Pending Does Not Mean Approved

A pending request generally means that an approval decision has not been completed.

Possible reasons include:

• Manager has not reviewed it.
• Request went to the wrong supervisor.
• Multiple approval levels are required.
• Manager is absent.
• Employee profile contains an old manager.
• HR review is required.
• Balance is insufficient.
• Scheduling conflict requires review.

Do not assume silence means approval.

Confirm the final status before making nonrefundable travel arrangements.

Approved Does Not Always Mean Paid

An approved absence and a paid absence are not always the same record.

The approval confirms permission to be away from work under the employer’s workflow.

Payroll may separately need:

• Correct PTO pay code.
• Approved timecard.
• Available balance.
• Payroll import.
• Manager timecard approval.
• Pay-period processing.
• Manual adjustment.

Official isolved materials describe time-off approval and payroll integration as connected functions, allowing approved time and PTO data to flow into payroll. A configuration or processing issue can still prevent the correct hours from appearing.

Accrued PTO

Accrued PTO is time the employee has earned under the employer’s policy.

Common earning methods include:

• Per hour worked.
• Per pay period.
• Monthly.
• Annual lump sum.
• Tenure-based tiers.
• Front-loaded annual grant.

Official isolved guidance explains that employers may accrue PTO each pay period, monthly or annually, and may use different rules for full-time, part-time and temporary employees.

Example:

Annual PTO: 120 hours
Biweekly payroll: 26 periods

Approximate accrual:

120 ÷ 26 = 4.615 hours per pay period

The employer’s system may round each accrual according to its configured rules.

Available PTO

Available PTO is the amount the employee can currently request or use.

It may differ from accrued PTO because of:

• Future approved requests.
• Pending requests.
• Waiting period.
• Accrual cap.
• Borrowing rules.
• Carryover limit.
• Prior usage.
• Manual adjustment.
• Payroll not yet completed.

Official isolved guidance distinguishes accrued time from available time and notes that approved or scheduled leave can affect the amount currently usable.

Example:

Accrued balance: 60 hours
Future approved vacation: 24 hours
Available for new requests: 36 hours

Current Balance Versus Balance After Request

Some request screens can display:

• Current available balance.
• Hours requested.
• Projected balance after the request.

Example:

Current available: 40 hours
New request: 16 hours
Balance after request: 24 hours

The projected figure may assume the request is approved.

It does not necessarily account for:

• Future accruals.
• Other pending requests.
• Payroll corrections.
• Year-end expiration.
• Policy changes.

Why the PTO Balance Changed

A balance can change because of:

• New accrual.
• Approved absence.
• Payroll processing.
• Canceled request.
• Manual correction.
• Carryover.
• Year-end expiration.
• Employment-status change.
• Tenure anniversary.
• Policy transfer.
• Negative-balance recovery.
• Payroll-system conversion.

Compare the balance history rather than relying only on the current total.

Ask HR for an accrual ledger when the change cannot be explained.

PTO Accrual Did Not Appear

Possible causes include:

• Payroll has not closed.
• Accrual posts only after payroll completion.
• Employee reached the cap.
• Waiting period applies.
• Accrual pauses during unpaid leave.
• Employee classification is incorrect.
• Hours worked did not meet the requirement.
• Accrual begins after an anniversary.
• Policy changed.
• Payroll correction is pending.

Useful request:

“My policy normally adds 4.62 vacation hours after each biweekly payroll, but no accrual appeared after the August 14 pay period. Please confirm the accrual rule, current cap and payroll posting status.”

Accrual Cap

An accrual cap limits how much PTO an employee can hold.

Example:

Maximum balance: 160 hours
Current balance: 160 hours

The employee may stop earning additional time until the balance falls below the cap.

A cap is different from:

• Annual earning limit.
• Carryover limit.
• Use-it-or-lose-it deadline.
• Maximum request.
• Payout limit.

Ask which limit applies.

Tenure-Based Accrual

An employee’s accrual rate may increase after:

• One year.
• Three years.
• Five years.
• Another service milestone.

Possible problems include:

• Anniversary date is wrong.
• Prior service was not credited.
• New rate begins next pay period.
• Increase begins at start of calendar year.
• Employer uses completed service years.
• Leave of absence affected service credit.

Official isolved materials note that employers can configure tenure-based accrual tiers.

Useful request:

“My fifth service anniversary was July 20, but the August payroll still used the prior vacation accrual rate. Please confirm the policy effective date and whether a retroactive adjustment is required.”

Waiting Period

A new employee may see a PTO bank but be unable to use it.

The policy can distinguish between:

• Earning PTO.
• Viewing PTO.
• Requesting PTO.
• Using PTO.

Example:

Accrual begins on hire date.
PTO becomes usable after 90 days.

The dashboard can therefore show earned time before the employee is permitted to schedule it.

Ask HR for the written eligibility and usage dates.

Annual Front-Loaded PTO

Some employers grant the full annual amount at the start of:

• Calendar year.
• Benefit year.
• Employee anniversary year.

Example:

January 1 balance: 120 hours

This does not necessarily mean all hours are vested or payable at termination.

The employer may apply:

• Proration.
• Recovery after early termination.
• Usage limit.
• Service requirement.
• Different payout rule.

Review the written policy.

Unlimited PTO

An unlimited PTO policy generally does not display a traditional earned balance.

Employees may still need to:

• Submit requests.
• Receive approval.
• Follow scheduling rules.
• Coordinate coverage.
• Record absence type.
• Meet performance requirements.
• Follow maximum consecutive-day rules.

“Unlimited” does not necessarily mean every request must be approved.

It can also be separate from:

• Statutory sick leave.
• Parental leave.
• Disability leave.
• Military leave.
• Other protected absences.

Carryover

Carryover means some unused time moves into the next policy year.

Possible rules include:

• Full balance carries over.
• Limited number of hours carries over.
• Nothing carries over.
• Carryover is allowed up to a cap.
• Time carries over but must be used by a deadline.
• Different leave banks have different rules.

Official isolved guidance notes that employers may allow accrued PTO to roll into the next year, impose caps or use expiration rules.

Carryover Balance Is Wrong

Possible causes include:

• Policy-year cutoff.
• Carryover maximum.
• Approved future request.
• Expired hours.
• Manual adjustment.
• Prior-year balance was incorrect.
• Different leave bank selected.
• Employee transferred policies.
• Payroll conversion.

Example:

December 31 balance: 76 hours
Maximum carryover: 40 hours
January 1 opening balance: 40 hours

The missing 36 hours may have expired under policy rather than disappeared because of a technical error.

Ask for:

• Closing balance.
• Carryover limit.
• Expired amount.
• Opening balance.
• Policy provision.

Use-It-or-Lose-It Rules

Some policies require employees to use time by a defined deadline.

However, PTO and vacation laws vary by jurisdiction. Some states restrict forfeiture of earned vacation or impose other requirements.

Official isolved year-end guidance recommends that employers confirm vacation, sick and PTO balances against payroll policies and applicable labor laws and clearly communicate any use-it-or-lose-it provisions.

Employees should verify:

• Work state.
• Employer policy.
• Leave type.
• Deadline.
• Carryover rules.
• Applicable law.

Do not assume a policy used in another state applies.

Vacation, Sick Leave and Combined PTO

Employers can maintain separate banks such as:

• Vacation.
• Sick.
• Personal.
• Floating holiday.
• Volunteer time.
• Bereavement.
• Combined PTO.
• Statutory sick leave.

Each bank can have different rules for:

• Accrual.
• Carryover.
• Approval.
• Documentation.
• Payout.
• Usage.
• Expiration.

Choose the correct absence policy when submitting a request.

Using vacation instead of sick leave can affect both the balance and payroll coding.

Requesting a Partial Day

For a partial-day request, verify:

• Date.
• Start time.
• End time.
• Number of hours.
• Scheduled shift.
• Meal period.
• Correct leave bank.

Example:

Scheduled shift: 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Unpaid meal: 30 minutes
Employee leaves at noon

Requested PTO may be 4 hours rather than 4.5 hours, depending on the schedule and policy.

Do not assume the system automatically understands an irregular shift.

Overnight Shift

An overnight absence can cross two calendar dates.

Example:

Shift starts: Friday at 10:00 p.m.
Shift ends: Saturday at 6:00 a.m.

The employer may assign the entire shift to:

• Start date.
• End date.
• Scheduled workday.
• Split dates.

Ask the manager or timekeeping administrator how to enter it.

An incorrect date can produce:

• Partial absence.
• Schedule conflict.
• Missing PTO.
• Attendance occurrence.

Holiday During Vacation

When a company holiday falls inside a vacation period, the system may:

• Use holiday pay instead of PTO.
• Use both incorrectly.
• Exclude the holiday automatically.
• Require a manual adjustment.
• Apply different rules based on eligibility.

Review the timecard.

Example:

Five scheduled weekdays absent
One paid company holiday
Expected vacation usage: 32 hours rather than 40

The policy controls the result.

Request Exceeds Available Balance

The system can:

• Block submission.
• Allow negative balance.
• Split paid and unpaid time.
• Send the request for exception approval.
• Use another leave bank.
• Reduce requested hours.

Do not assume that manager approval creates extra paid hours.

The manager may approve the absence while payroll pays only the available balance.

Negative PTO Balance

A negative balance can result when:

• Employer allows borrowing.
• Employee used more time than accrued.
• Payroll posted usage before accrual.
• Future request reserves time.
• Accrual was reversed.
• Employee transferred policies.
• Prior balance was corrected.

Ask:

• Is negative usage permitted?
• What is the maximum?
• How will future accruals apply?
• Will repayment be required at termination?
• Is the balance only projected?

Do not assume a negative number is automatically a payroll debt.

Pending Request Reduced the Available Balance

Some employers reserve requested hours as soon as the request is submitted.

Example:

Available before request: 48 hours
Pending request: 16 hours
New available balance: 32 hours

If the request is denied or canceled, those hours should normally become available again after processing.

A delay can occur before the dashboard recalculates.

Canceled Request Did Not Restore PTO

Possible reasons include:

• Request is marked for cancellation but still awaiting manager approval.
• Payroll already processed the absence.
• Another request uses the same hours.
• Cancellation occurred after the cutoff.
• Timecard still contains the PTO pay code.
• Balance refresh is delayed.
• Request was deleted from scheduling but not payroll.

Useful request:

“My 16-hour vacation request was canceled before the absence date, but the available balance remains reduced. Please confirm the cancellation status, timecard entry and balance adjustment.”

Deleting Versus Canceling a Request

The exact meaning can vary.

Delete

May remove a draft or unprocessed request.

Cancel

May create a request to reverse an already submitted or approved absence.

An approved request may require manager confirmation before cancellation is effective.

Do not assume clicking Cancel immediately restores:

• Work schedule.
• PTO balance.
• Payroll entry.
• Attendance status.

Check all connected records.

Manager Approved the Wrong Number of Hours

Example:

Employee requested: 8 hours
Manager approved: 4 hours

Possible causes include:

• Partial-day schedule.
• Insufficient balance.
• Manager edit.
• Holiday overlap.
• Meal deduction.
• Request entered incorrectly.

Review the approval details.

Useful request:

“My full-day request was submitted for eight hours, but the approved record contains four hours. Please confirm whether the manager edited the request or whether the schedule reduced the calculated hours.”

Request Was Denied

A denial can occur because of:

• Staffing needs.
• Blackout period.
• Insufficient balance.
• Late request.
• Another employee already approved.
• Wrong leave type.
• Missing documentation.
• Policy restriction.
• Employee not yet eligible.

Ask for the reason and whether alternatives are available, such as:

• Different dates.
• Partial day.
• Shift swap.
• Unpaid leave.
• Another leave bank.
• Escalation under policy.

Do not repeatedly submit the identical request without addressing the denial reason.

Approved Vacation Does Not Appear on the Schedule

Time-off approval and schedule publication can be separate.

Possible reasons include:

• Schedule was already published.
• Scheduling integration is delayed.
• Manager approved the absence but did not remove the shift.
• Employee selected the wrong dates.
• Shift crosses midnight.
• Another location controls the schedule.

Official isolved scheduling materials state that employees can view schedules, request time off and receive schedule updates, while managers manage approvals and staffing.

Notify the manager before the affected shift.

Do not assume the schedule will update automatically in every employer configuration.

Approved PTO Missing From the Timecard

Possible reasons include:

• PTO request is approved but not imported.
• Wrong pay code.
• Wrong date.
• Manager removed the entry.
• Request applies to another pay period.
• Timecard is not refreshed.
• Absence is approved as unpaid.
• Payroll cutoff passed.

Compare:

• Request.
• Approval.
• Schedule.
• Timecard.
• Final pay stub.

A useful request is:

“My eight-hour vacation request for August 7 was approved, but the final timecard contains no PTO hours. Please add the correct pay code before payroll closes.”

Approved PTO Missing From the Paycheck

This can happen even when the time-off screen shows approval.

Check:

1. Was the request for paid or unpaid leave?
2. Did the timecard contain PTO?
3. Was the timecard approved?
4. Was enough balance available?
5. Did payroll process the correct pay period?
6. Was another leave bank used?
7. Did the employer issue an off-cycle correction?

Official isolved materials emphasize that time and PTO must sync correctly with payroll for accurate payment.

Useful request:

“My approved eight-hour PTO request appears in Time Off but was not included on the completed pay statement. Please reconcile the request, timecard, balance and payroll import and confirm the correction date.”

PTO Appears Twice on the Paycheck

Duplicate PTO can occur when:

• Request imported automatically.
• Manager also entered it manually.
• Payroll adjustment duplicated it.
• Prior-period correction and current pay appear together.
• Two leave banks were used.

Notify payroll.

Do not assume the extra amount is a bonus.

Request a written explanation before spending an obvious overpayment.

PTO Was Paid but Balance Did Not Decrease

Possible reasons include:

• Balance updates after payroll.
• Different leave bank was charged.
• Employer front-loads time.
• Manual adjustment restored hours.
• Payroll and accrual systems refresh separately.
• Pay code was not linked to the accrual bank.
• System configuration error.

Ask HR to compare the payroll earning code with the leave policy.

Balance Decreased but PTO Was Not Paid

Possible causes include:

• Approved unpaid absence charged the wrong bank.
• PTO pay code did not reach payroll.
• Timecard correction pending.
• Payroll error.
• Balance transaction posted too early.
• Request was split between paid and unpaid time.

Request both:

• Restoration of the balance if payment is not due.
• Payment correction if paid PTO should have been issued.

The employer should not leave the employee with neither the time nor the wages when the policy entitles the employee to paid leave.

PTO and Overtime

Paid leave hours do not always count as hours worked for federal overtime calculations.

Example:

Worked hours: 36
PTO hours: 8
Total paid hours: 44

Federal overtime may still be based on 36 hours actually worked, subject to employer policy, contract and state law.

The pay stub can therefore show:

• 36 regular worked hours.
• 8 PTO hours.
• No overtime.

Ask payroll when state rules, collective bargaining terms or employer policies provide a different result.

PTO and Holiday Pay

A pay period can contain:

• Regular hours.
• Holiday pay.
• PTO.
• Overtime.

Check whether the employer permits:

• PTO on a holiday.
• Holiday pay during vacation.
• Premium pay when working the holiday.
• Alternative holiday.
• Holiday eligibility during leave.

Do not enter PTO over a paid holiday unless policy requires it.

PTO During Leave of Absence

A leave of absence can involve:

• PTO.
• Sick leave.
• Short-term disability.
• Paid family leave.
• Unpaid leave.
• FMLA.
• State-protected leave.
• Workers’ compensation.

PTO approval alone does not determine whether the absence is job-protected.

Official isolved Leave Management materials describe separate administration for federal and state job-protected leaves through a secure process.

Employees should ask:

• Must available PTO be used?
• Can PTO supplement another benefit?
• Does accrual continue?
• Who approves the protected leave?
• Which portal should be used?
• How should the timecard be coded?

Sick Leave and Medical Privacy

A manager may need to know:

• That an absence is requested.
• Dates.
• Expected duration.
• Whether policy documentation is required.

The manager does not necessarily need detailed medical information in a general PTO comment box.

Use the employer’s confidential leave or accommodation process for sensitive records.

Do not upload medical documents into an ordinary scheduling comment unless instructed through a secure process.

Bereavement Leave

Bereavement may be a separate paid-leave policy rather than part of the normal PTO bank.

The employer can define:

• Eligible relationships.
• Number of days.
• Documentation.
• Travel allowance.
• Approval.
• Pay treatment.

Choose the correct policy.

Using vacation can unnecessarily reduce the employee’s PTO when bereavement leave was available.

Jury Duty and Military Leave

Jury duty and military leave can have specialized legal and employer rules.

Do not automatically submit them as vacation.

Ask HR which:

• Leave type.
• Documentation.
• Pay code.
• Benefit process.
• Job-protection process.

applies.

PTO Request During Notice Period

Some employers restrict vacation during a resignation notice period.

Possible policy outcomes include:

• Request denied.
• PTO allowed.
• Notice period extended.
• Payout handled separately.
• Previously approved leave honored.
• Different rules for sick leave.

Review the written policy and applicable state law.

Do not assume an employee can use all remaining vacation immediately before the last day.

PTO Payout at Termination

Unused PTO payout depends on:

• State law.
• Employer policy.
• Leave type.
• Whether the balance is vested.
• Separation reason.
• Notice requirements.
• Employment contract.
• Collective bargaining agreement.

Official isolved guidance notes that states can regulate sick leave accrual, rollover and PTO payout.

A visible balance does not automatically prove that every hour must be paid.

Ask for a final accrual ledger and payout calculation.

PTO Balance After Rehire

A rehired employee may see:

• Old balance restored.
• Zero balance.
• New waiting period.
• Prior service credit.
• Different accrual tier.
• Duplicate leave banks.
• Negative balance carried forward.

Ask HR whether policy provides:

• Reinstatement within a certain period.
• Prior-service credit.
• New-hire treatment.
• Restoration of statutory sick leave.

Do not rely only on the dashboard until the rehire record is confirmed.

PTO Balance After Payroll Conversion

When an employer changes payroll or HR systems, balances can be:

• Imported.
• Rounded.
• Split into new banks.
• Available only in historical records.
• Temporarily delayed.
• Incorrectly mapped.

Save the final prior-system statement where permitted.

Ask for:

• Conversion balance.
• Effective date.
• New policy name.
• Adjustment history.
• Audit of missing hours.

Mobile App Shows a Different Balance

Possible reasons include:

• App cache.
• Different employer profile.
• Delayed synchronization.
• Pending request visible only in one interface.
• Mobile display rounds values.
• Web version shows projected balance.
• App needs to be refreshed.

Official isolved materials state that mobile employee tools can support time-off requests and pay information.

Compare the timestamp and exact leave bank.

Contact HR if the values remain different.

Time Clock PTO Request

Some isolved-compatible time clocks allow employees to view balances and submit PTO directly.

Official NXG G7 Pro materials state that employees can request PTO from the time clock in supported configurations.

A time-clock request can still require manager approval.

Record the confirmation number or status before leaving the clock.

Request Submitted Through the Wrong Employer Account

A person working for multiple employers using Myisolved can accidentally open the wrong profile.

Before submitting, verify:

• Employer name.
• Leave policy.
• Manager.
• Worksite.
• Available balance.

A request under one employer will not normally create an absence under another.

Another Employee’s PTO Information Appears

Stop reviewing the record.

Do not:

• Screenshot it unnecessarily.
• Share it.
• Contact the employee.
• Edit the request.
• Use the information.

Notify HR or the employer’s privacy contact.

Provide only:

• Time.
• Page.
• Employer profile.
• Minimal description.

Ask the employer to correct the permissions.

MySolved PTO Phishing

A fake message may claim:

• PTO expires within minutes.
• Employee must sign in through an unrelated page.
• Manager needs the employee’s password.
• One-time code must be provided for approval.
• A fee is required to release vacation pay.
• Bank login is required for PTO payout.
• Gift cards are needed to prevent forfeiture.
• Remote-access software must be installed.

Open the official People Cloud account independently.

Legitimate PTO approval does not require:

• Employee password.
• Email password.
• Authentication code.
• Bank password.
• Gift cards.
• Cryptocurrency.

Useful Pending-Request Message

“My time-off request for August 20–22 remains Pending. Please confirm the assigned approver, whether another approval level is required and whether the request was submitted successfully.”

Useful Balance Message

“My vacation balance decreased from 72 to 40 hours, but I used only 16 hours. Please provide the accrual and usage ledger showing every adjustment, request and carryover transaction.”

Useful Carryover Message

“My December 31 vacation balance was 68 hours, while the new-year opening balance is 32 hours. Please identify the carryover limit, expired amount and policy applied.”

Useful Missing-Pay Message

“My approved PTO appears in Time Off but not on the completed pay stub. Please reconcile the approval, available balance, timecard pay code and payroll import.”

Useful Cancellation Message

“I canceled the approved 16-hour request before the absence, but the hours remain reserved and the work schedule still shows me unavailable. Please confirm the cancellation workflow across scheduling, timekeeping and the PTO balance.”

Useful Accrual-Rate Message

“My service anniversary should have moved me to the next accrual tier. Please confirm the effective date, new rate and any retroactive PTO adjustment.”

Useful Termination-Payout Message

“Please provide my final PTO accrual ledger, payable leave categories, hours eligible for payout, hourly value and the employer policy or state rule used.”

These messages provide enough information without sharing passwords or unnecessary medical details.

Who Should Handle Each Issue?

Contact the manager about:

• Pending request.
• Approval.
• Denial.
• Staffing conflict.
• Schedule.
• Partial-day hours.
• Request cancellation.
• Incorrect approver.

Contact HR about:

• PTO policy.
• Eligibility.
• Waiting period.
• Accrual rate.
• Carryover.
• Expiration.
• Leave-bank transfer.
• Protected leave.
• Termination payout.
• Rehire balance.

Contact payroll about:

• PTO missing from pay.
• Duplicate PTO payment.
• Incorrect earnings code.
• PTO taxes.

• Timecard import.
• Retroactive payment.

Contact a leave administrator about:

• FMLA.
• State family or medical leave.
• Disability leave.
• Protected absence.
• Medical documentation.
• Return-to-work process.

The employer controls employee-specific leave and payroll records. Official isolved employee guidance directs workers to their company’s HR administrator when they cannot locate or correct time-off information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where Is PTO in MySolved?

Participating employees can generally open Time and Attendance → Time Off to view balances and manage requests.

What Is the Difference Between Accrued and Available PTO?

Accrued PTO is time earned. Available PTO is the amount currently usable after considering policy rules, pending or approved requests and other adjustments.

Why Did My Available Balance Drop After I Submitted a Request?

The employer may reserve the requested hours while approval is pending.

Does an Approved Request Guarantee Paid Time?

Not always. The employee must have eligible paid hours, and the approved request must reach the timecard and payroll correctly.

Why Is My Approved PTO Missing From My Paycheck?

The PTO pay code may be missing from the timecard, the request may have missed payroll cutoff, or the absence may have been approved as unpaid.

Why Did My PTO Stop Accruing?

The employee may have reached a cap, entered a non-accruing leave status, failed to meet an hours requirement or encountered a payroll configuration problem.

Does PTO Always Carry Over?

No. Carryover depends on employer policy and applicable law. Some employers allow full, limited or no carryover.

Can I Cancel an Approved Request?

Possibly. The employer may require manager approval, and schedule, timecard and balance records may need separate updates.

Can My Balance Become Negative?

Some employers permit employees to borrow future PTO. Others block requests that exceed the available balance.

Is PTO Paid Out When Employment Ends?

It depends on state law, employer policy, leave type and other applicable terms.

Can isolved Increase My PTO Balance?

The employer controls the policy and employee record. HR or payroll must investigate and authorize corrections.

Final Point

A mysolved PTO issue should be followed from the leave policy through the final paycheck.

The employee should distinguish among:

• Accrued balance.
• Available balance.
• Pending request.
• Approved request.
• Scheduled absence.
• Timecard entry.
• Payroll-paid hours.
• Carryover.
• Expiration.
• Payout.

The safest process is:

1. Use the official employer-provided People Cloud route.
2. Open Time and Attendance → Time Off.
3. Select the correct leave bank.
4. Verify dates, start time and hours.
5. Review the projected balance.
6. Submit the final request.
7. Confirm the approver.
