Time off does not track the dollars owed to your team members or automatically sync/integrate with Payroll when it comes to paying out your team's owed vacation. You'll have to continue to use the Payroll product for these functions. Check out our article on How to automate Time Off Sync for details on how this process can be automated.
Policies, once created, shouldn't be modified. If you're modifying beyond the basic info, this can potentially cause data disruption around balances. Contact us at support@risepeople.com for any accrual or carry over adjustments that need to take place.
