Leave and holiday mistakes

Leave counted wrong, holidays showing for the wrong office, balances that don't add up.

1. Weekly offs counted as leave

What you see: a Friday-to-Monday leave counts 4 days instead of 2.

Why: either the person's shift working days include the weekend, or the leave policy's sandwich rule is on (it counts the weekend between two leave days on purpose).

Fix: check the shift's working days first, then the sandwich rule in Leave Policies.

2. A holiday for one office shows for everyone

Fix: edit the holiday and choose its branches. A holiday without branches applies to every branch.

3. Holidays entered every year by hand

Fix: pick festivals from the festival list instead. They come back on the right date each year, even when the date moves.

4. Balances wrong on 1 January

Why: carry-forward limits or yearly days in the leave type were changed after the year started.

Fix: correct the balance for the person in Leave Balances. Next year, change the rules before 1 January.

5. Unpaid leave not reducing salary

Fix: the leave type must be marked as unpaid. Paid leave never reduces salary.
