Why does the system deduct less than the number of days applied for when applying for leave? Wondering what's going on here.

For example, an employee applied for a 5-day Full Pay Sick Leave from 2022-09-10 to 2022-09-14. However, the amount deducted by the system is only 2 days.

The time period for applying for vacation includes statutory holidays, public holidays, and rest days, so the system will automatically deduct:

Solutions: 1. Celect Saturday and Sunday as working days;

2. Open the fourth step of the Leave PolIcy: When employees apply for continuous leaves overlapping with non-working or public holidays, count them towards the balance button.
