## Check It Worked

You can see your remaining balance and find any request you've made.

## Common Questions

What does Brought Forward mean?Days you didn't use last year that carried over to this year. Your company decides whether this happens and when those days expire.

Why does Remaining include a request that isn't approved yet?Pending requests are counted as Requested so you don't book the same days twice. If the request is denied, the days come back.
