Why is my absence not deducting from my residual days?

So it's coming to the end of the year and you still have 5 vacation days left. Luckily, your company allows for residual days to carry over into the new year, which means more vacation days for you in the upcoming year - wow, that's great! 

But why is your planned vacation for the upcoming year not using those 5 residual days when you request the absence? Don't worry - it will. 

absence.io will automatically recalculate once the new vacation year starts. That means even though when you make the request now in the current year, it's deducting from your next year's allowance, once it starts. And then it will use your residual days from this year. Thus, these days won't get lost.
