Is paid time off pulled into an employee’s timesheet automatically?

• Any time off an employee has requested will show up on the right side of an employee’s timesheet to help employees and managers remember the hours requested off for that day. However, it does not auto-populate the time entry box because there will be scenarios when the employee takes time off but still works the same day (i.e., worked four hours in the morning but took four hours off in the afternoon). Only the time off categories set as paid time off categories will pull over into the employee's timesheet. 

Are there any exceptions to waiting until the next pay period for changes in time tracking methods?
