Leave year and Automatic leave reset with changes in settings	With this feature, you can automate the leave addition process through a year and complete the year-end leave transfer process effortlessly. The leaves will be automatically processed within a leave year. However, you will have to conduct an end-year process to calculate the leaves that can be carried forward to the upcoming leave year. Important: Once this mode is activated, you will have to follow certain steps to use it. Firstly, create credit frequency and credit type for each existing leave type. To manage the leaves, create a new leave year and activate it. Then, select the date on which the last leave reset was carried out (reference for the upcoming leave credit). With this update, you no longer have to manually do the entire process. By using the Leave Credit Setting, switch to the automatic mode of crediting the leaves. The manual method will be selected by default if this setting is not configured. Decide when the leaves will be credited. To enable user-defined mode, we have custom based. To credit the leaves according to the calendar, that is on the 1st of any set duration, we have Calendar based. After the configuration is completed, the leaves will be automatically processed within a leave year. However, you will have to conduct an end year process to calculate the leaves that can be carried forward to the upcoming leave year. HR Settings You can define the Number of Working days (NWD) for each month.
