• Anniversary: calculation based on the financial year for the Company, hence it could be a 12-month period that starts from any month, such May till April of next year
  
• Join Date: calculation based on the actual join date of Employee, hence the Leave calculation might be different for every Employee
  

 Maximum Days Taken

Enter here the maximum number of days of Leave that Employee can take for the selected Leave Type here. 
For example, if the Annual Leave is 20 days and Marriage Leave is 5 days. But if the Maximum Days Taken here is 21, then the maximum number of Leaves that the Employee can take for both Annual Leave and Marriage Leave is only 21 instead of 25. 
You can choose the period of the Maximum Days Taken. There are three type of period:

• Per Annum: the restriction is only valid for one calendar year
  
• Per Incident: the restriction is valid every time the Incident happens
  
• Life time: the restriction is valid for the whole working tenure
  

Use Maximum Leave & Allow ESS View

Ticking on Use Maximum Taken From Leave Type box means the system will only take the highest number of Leave for all Leave Type chosen here. 
For example, if Annual Leave is 10 days and Marriage Leave is 3 days, once the Use Maximum Taken From Leave Type box is tick, it means the maximum number of Leave Combined allowed is 10 days (highest of the two). 
Bear in mind that this feature will OVERWRITE the 'Max. Days Taken' selection enter in the above.

Allow ESS View is to allow Employee to view this leave type during their log in.
