- Each employee will only ever have a single set of time off/leave allowances active at any point in
time.
- You can maintain multiple revisions of each employees time off/leave allowances, each with their
own effective (from/to) dates so you can specify different time off/leave allowances at different
points in the year.
- You can make adjustments to time off/leave allowances to take into account unused allowances from
previous periods.
- In order to view/manage time off/leave allowances, you must be granted access to do so.
