**Leave Group**: select a leave group from the list

**Task**: select a leave from the list

**Frequency**: //Per year// when the leave entitlement applies for one year. \\
//Per Case// when the leave entitlement applies to one case (for example a prolonged sickness).

**Year of service**: the number of years or months that an employee is required to have worked for the company before being entitled to the leave. The general format is y.mm where y is the number of years and mm the number of months. \\
Here are some examples: \\

^ Year of service ^ Equivalent         ^
| 1.00            | 1 year             |
| 0.06            | 6 months           |
| 1.05            | 1 year + 5 months  |
| 1.10            | 1 year + 10 months |
| 1.01            | 1 year + 1 month   |

**Nbr of days**: number of days entitled for the selected frequency (year or case)

**Pro rata**: //Yearly pro rata//, //Month by month pro rata//, //Full// \\
Yearly pro rata calculates the number of days eligible for new comers based on the joined or confirmation date. For example an employee is entitled to local leaves as from 1/July, so he will be eligible to 6/12 of 16 locals. \\
Month by month pro rata calculated the number of days eligible on a month by month basis, where an employee for example is entitled in January to 1/12 of 16 locals, then in February to 2/12, etc. \\
Full means a new comer is entitled to the total days even though he was not present as from January.

**Base Date**: Date used to calculate leave entitlement. This can be either the //Joined date// or //Confirmation date//
