Employee Leave Unit Assignment

Once a leave type has been assigned to an employee (automatically or manually), the employee can apply for leave units to be assigned pending approval. This screen allows an employee to apply for leave unit assignment or edit a leave application before it is approved. Note: Where a leave spans public holiday or non-working day, there will be no leave units used for the affected days except where the leave’s calculation basis is set to “Calendar Days” (See Creating Leave Types)
