Leave Models are broadly divided into 2 categories - Fixed Yearly and Year of service.

Fixed Yearly leave model - Leaves period - Calendar year Jaunary to December

and the follwoing year January 2011 to Decemeber 2011.


Year of Service leave model - Leaves period - Employee's joining anniversary.
For Example: Mr. Tan Joins on 1 June 2010. the leave period would be from 1 June 2010 to 30 May 2011,
and the following year 1 June 2011 to 30 May 2012.

Choosing between Fixed Yearly and Year of Service leave model is very important at this stage as it would define all further modification or additions the user will perform.

Fixed Yearly / Year of service - Normal: Under this leave model, all the leaves are available to an employee at any given time of the year.
For Example: An employee has joined the company on 01. Jan and has 14 Annual leaves entitled for that year. So if the employee is applying for
leave in the month of  january or anyother month he/she would have 14 leaves available to consume

Fixed Yearly / Year of service - Prorated: Under this leave model, leaves available to an employee are prorated based on number of months of service.
For Example: An employee has joined the company on 01. Jan and has 14 Annual leaves entitled for that year. The leaves will be prorated by the formula:
14 (Leaves) /12 (Months) = 1.16  *  Number of completed months. So if the employee is applying for leave in the month of April he/she would have 3.49 leaves
available to consume. (i.e. 14/12 = 1.16 x 3 (Jan,Feb,March) = 3.49)


Fixed Yearly / Year of service - Prorated(Floor): Under this leave model, leaves available to an employee are prorated based on number of months of service
For Example: An employee has joined the company on 01. Jan and has 14 Annual leaves entitled for that year. The leaves will be prorated by the formula:
14 (Leaves) /12 (Months) = 1.16  *  Number of completed months. So if the employee is applying for leave in the month of April he/she would have 3 leaves
available to consume. (i.e. 14/12 = 1.16 x 3 (Jan,Feb,March) = 3.49 in the concept of floor all the decimal are dropped = 3)


Fixed Yearly / Year of service - Prorated(Ceiling): Under this leave model, leaves available to an employee are prorated based on number of months of service
For Example: An employee has joined the company on 01. Jan and has 14 Annual leaves entitled for that year. The leaves will be prorated by the formula:
14 (Leaves) /12 (Months) = 1.16  *  Number of completed months. So if the employee is applying for leave in the month of April he/she would have 4 leaves
available to consume. (i.e. 14/12 = 1.16 x 3 (Jan,Feb,March) = 3.49 in the concept of ceiling the decimal are raised = 4)
