We have become aware of an issue where Time Off Approvers are experiencing the error, Can’t assign ‘xxxx.xxxxxx’ to numeric that allows negatives and has ‘x’ digits when attempting to approve time off requests or time off corrections via the following:

  • Approval step using My Tasks
  • Manage Absence
  • Time Off Event through Worker History

We have identified the cause and appreciate your patience as we work to deliver a solution.
