Documentation

Definition

Specifies for each type of leave the length of time in which requests can be submitted in advance.

Use

The period that you enter here relates to the start date of the leave.

Dependencies

You indicate the period as follows:

• Before the start date of leave: Minus sign (-) before or after the number
• Start date of leave: BLANK or 0
• After the start date of leave: No plus/minus sign
• No deadline: Highest possible negative number (for example 99- (years))

Example

You specify that your employees can submit requests for vacation for a maximum of eight months in advance. You therefore enter "8-" in this field.

In January, an employee requests leave for December 15 onwards. The system does not accept the request. The earliest date the employee can submit the request is April 15.
