Super users can now restrict the number of days allowed for a Leave Type per staff member 'in Year'. For Example, you may have a Leave Type called "Dependant Emergency" - for which you only allow staff to have 4 days off per year. You can set the limit for this leave type as 4 and users will not be able to book more than the limit.
A super user may set the whole company to restrict the number of days allowed per leave type via the Manage Leave Types area but also has the extra optional feature to set individual staff member(s) to a personal limit ( IMPORTANT! the personal limit supersedes any limit set in the company leave types area ).
When a staff member reaches their personal limit on a certain leave type, the system will then reject the request and inform the staff member. Here's a link to to the knowledge base about this feature.
