Alpha Leave Management
Leave types, request statuses, and day-half support for managing employee time off.
The leave management system handles all aspects of employee time off, from requesting leave to tracking balances.

Day Halves
Leave requests support partial-day entries using the day half system:
| Day Half | Description |
|---|---|
FULL | The entire day is taken as leave |
MORNING | Only the morning half is leave; the employee works in the afternoon |
AFTERNOON | Only the afternoon half is leave; the employee works in the morning |
This allows employees to take a half-day off without using a full day from their balance.
Vacation Balance
Each employee has a vacation balance that tracks:
- Annual entitlement -- Total leave days allocated per year
- Used -- Days consumed by approved requests
- Remaining -- Days still available
The balance updates automatically when leave requests are approved or cancelled. Only VACATION type leave deducts from the vacation balance; other leave types (sick, parental, etc.) are tracked separately.
