An employees should be able to apply for leave within their previous active enrollment.

There are 2 scenarios where this change can happen:

1. A change of accrual frequency from monthly to annually leading into the fact that the employee need to be un-enrolled from the monthly plan and re-enrolled into the annual plan. This will only change plans while the leave types will stay the same.
2. Current: Employee is not able to submit the time off in the previously active monthly Vacation leave plan
3. Expected: Employees should be able to to submit the time off in the previously active Vacation leave plan
4. An FTE change needing un-enrolment + re-enrolment into the same leave plan to calculate the correct pro-rated accrual amount for when the employee had an FTE of 0.5 and when the employee had an FTE of 1. Also here an employee cannot submit any time off request for their previous enrolment.

I like to check how Dynamics 365 F&O and especially the Human Resources module and more specifically the Employee Self Service and the Leave Absences functionality in Self Service do support the European accessibility act approved in 2019, coming into effect on 28 June 2025.

Web WAI-ARIA guidelines recommend to ensure all your tooltips are accessible to everyone.

I believe currently the product is lacking required accessibility features that help blind people to navigate the product and submit time off requests or goals from Self Service.

Currently many controls like buttons do not have a tooltip at all. For example the Submit button for a time off request.

Other tools tips only contain the value entered, and can be more clear, including the field label.

Tables included in Self Service are not recognized by accessibility tools like JAWS or NVDA.

We have some blind users who are using JAWS / NVDA as a screen reader to navigate self-service and submit time off requests.

When selecting the "Start date" field in the time off request dialog in D365 Human Resources the following is read by the screen reader:

"Start date combo box collapsed required editable opens dialog after the lookup is open, you can use alt+down to move focus into the lookup. Selected 04/02/2025."

Expected: something much shorter and user friendly.

I can add an example of what is expected from Replicon, this is a very similar form, also for the start date of a time off request with a calendar popup when clicking on the field itself. 

Current the screen reader reads here: "Start edit, selected April 2nd, 2025"

This is just a specific example. It applies to all fields in D365 self-service which makes navigating D365 self-service very hard for blind users. Please let us know how D365 Human Resources (F&O) can better support blind users under the USA Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act (ADA) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

When changing legal entity, system bounces you back to the beginning. Expected behavior would be that D365 switches company but stays on the same page, so I am able to continue tasks in another legal entity.

Details / Repro steps:

• Select company UK01
• Open workers form and make sure the "Restrict to current legal entity" is set to No
• Search for employee in US01, for example by filtering on the Name field for "James Perfect"
• Open worker record of employee in US01 previously searched for "James Perfect"
• Note that Compensation and Leave and absence are greyed out because the correct company is not selected
• Change company to US01 in the top ribbon

Expected: D365 will keep the filter and stay on James Perfect's worker record and Employee compensation data will become visible.

Ideally expected: Since I can access both UK01 and US01 per my security role setup D365 will automatically ask me to switch LE (including Do not tell me again logic) as when using the Employment: Date manager when accessing the Employment history data from another legal entity.
