    Thanks alot for the article and i will be really thank ful if you also include that how to handle the leave deduction in payroll. Specially rules for the unpaid leaves if the pay cycle is monthly and handling the short leaves.

    E.g.
    If a person has two unpaid leaves during a month and 7 short leaves given that “2” short leaves be considered equal to “1” unpaid leave. So now we need to deduct for 2 unpaid leaves and in addition 3 more unpaid leaves due to the effect of short leaves.

    If you can update your article with this addition with the salary rules than it will be more than a favor to all of the new bies like me.

    I will be looking forward for it.

    Thanks again

      Hello Shaheryar. Thanks for your comments. Your scenario seems possible by Customization and not by configuration. Looks like we need to modify the current workflow to map such a requirement.
