Resolution

Total absences shown on Time Accounts portlet will only include total hours taken as of Today's date and will not include future absences. In the example provided, Taken column will only include employee's absences from 12/10/2014 - 01/24/2018. Absences from 04/17/2018 - 06/29/2018 will be shown only as part of the Taken column when today's date is on the start date or after the end date of the last absence entry (06/25/2018 - 06/29/2018).

To include total future absences on Taken column of Time Accounts portlet in Manage Time Off page, Account Details as of can be changed to end date of last future absence entry of the employee.
