The opening balance of a leave can be updated by the HR Manager at any point of time. When a new leave is created it is created with a zero opening balance in such a case the opening balance needs to be manually updated. This facility can also be used to make modifications in opening balance due to specific requirements.

You can update the opening balance of resigned employees by clicking on "Resigned" radio button.
