In StaffAny, staff can check their remaining leave balance at any time from the mobile app via the My Leaves screen. This article explains how to view your balance, understand the detail breakdown, and see your remaining balance when applying for leave.
This guide will cover how to:
View Your Leave Balance
Open the StaffAny mobile app and tap the More tab at the bottom of the screen.
Tap My Leaves.
Tap the Balances tab.
You will see a list of all your active leave types. Each row shows:
Leave type short form (e.g. AL) and full name (e.g. Annual Leave)
Entitlement period (e.g. 01 Jan 2025 - 31 Dec 2025), or No fixed entitlement period for adjustment-only leave types
Days remaining (e.g. 10 days, 1 day, or Unlimited)
Off-in-Lieu balances appear in a separate Off-in-Lieu section below the leave types, listing each grant with its reason and remaining days.
To check your balance for a different date, use the date selector at the top of the Balances tab.
View Leave Balance Detail
Tap any leave type on the Balances tab to open the detail screen for that leave type. The detail screen shows:
Base entitlement - the number of days you are entitled to in the current entitlement period
Carry-forward balance - any unused days carried forward from a previous entitlement period (if applicable)
Leave taken or pending - days used or awaiting approval in the current period
Remaining balance - your current days left
Leave history - individual leave records for this leave type in the current period
For Off-in-Lieu, tapping a grant shows the specific reason for the grant and the remaining balance for that individual Off-in-Lieu entry.
For unlimited leave types (leave types with no fixed entitlement period), the detail screen shows your leave history without a days-remaining counter.
Check Your Balance When Applying for Leave
When submitting a leave application, your remaining balance is shown inline on the form. To access the leave application form:
Go to Profile > My Leaves.
Tap the Requests tab.
Tap the + Add Leave button to start a new leave application.
Select a leave type. The form will display Days Left: X below the leave type picker, showing your remaining balance for that leave type on the selected dates.
If your organisation has negative balance checks enabled, a warning message (Exceeds balance) will appear if your application exceeds your remaining balance.

FAQ
Q: I cannot see a leave type in my Balances tab. Why?
A: Only active (non-archived) leave types are shown. If a leave type is not visible, it may have been archived by your organisation. Contact your Manager or Owner to verify.
Q: My balance shows 0 but I think I should have days remaining. What should I do?
A: Your leave balance is set and adjusted by your organisation. Contact your Manager or Owner to verify your entitlement and any adjustments that may have been applied.
Q: Where can I see leave I have already taken?
A: Go to Profile > My Leaves > Requests tab to view your approved, pending, and declined leave applications for the year. You can also tap a leave type on the Balances tab to see leave history for that specific leave type.
Q: Why does my balance show a different number than I expected?
A: The balance displayed on the Balances tab reflects your balance as at the date shown in the date selector. Use the date selector to check your balance at a specific date. If you believe the balance is incorrect, contact your Manager or Owner.
