Examplelet say
candidate joining date = 15 th March 2021.
Annual Start date= 1 st Jan 2021
Annual End Date = 31st Dec 2021.
Casual Leaves = 24.✔ If accrued is disabled, candidate allocated leave would be (24 leaves /12 month) * Remaining months i.e., 9 months = 18 Leaves allocates for a years
✔ If accrued is enabled and type is Monthly, for march month allocated leave will be 2 and it increase by 2 on every month.
✔ If accrued is enabled and type is quarterly
24 leaves/ 3 quarter for year = 8 leaves for each quarter
Now (1st quarter= 8 leaves) / 4 months = 2 leaves
∴ 2 leaves * 2 months (remaining months to complete one quarter) = 4 leaves allocates in first quarter and then 8 leaves would allocate for in each quarter automatically.Allocated leaves
