What are Staff Leave Types?
Used to distinguish what type of leave that a staff is going to file or create. They are also used to distinguish the staff leave details that are contained in the payroll and timesheet exports.
Why do we need Staff Leave Types?
To tell whether this leave is for specific events like emergencies or occasions, and to keep track of the type of leave staff take in line with their entitlements.
