Hello.
I avoid these future year requests by doing the following:
1. Not assigning Time Off Limits to the dates beyond current year.
2. Configuring the Time Off Plan > Auto Approval Rule to 'According to time off limit'
Therefore, if an agent submits a request for 2024 it will go into Pending status as no hours are available. Please be aware that the request will go into Pending Waitlist status and will auto approve one the limit is available
UNLESS you configure the 'Days before Start to Expire from Waitlist'. The request will expire once the it set window closes. Hope this helps.
