Global Leave Settings

The Global Leave Settings has to be setup once.

Leave Settings

Leave Settings is where the Leave Profiles are created. There is no limit on the amount of leave profiles that can be created.
The benefits of Leave Profiles is seen when you have such scenarios as:
Management, or particular employees accruing Annual or Sick Leave Days at a higher rate than other employees.
